“We don’t need to go shopping for this full life. It is right in front of us, waiting. All we need to do is notice. We’re too caught up in our daily lives to find the time or space to notice. How did we get this way? When did we decide that more and bigger stuff would give us a better life? When was the last time a busy calendar gave anyone more serenity? Do we really get more joy from worrying about, rearranging, and dusting our things than we do from visiting with a friend? Do our soulful, intimate friends really care whether our houses are decorated in the latest style and whether we spent an extra five minutes worrying about a certain vase? Do we like ourselves more if we move up from medium size to a big screen television set? Will that make zoning out every night a little more pleasant? Is zoning out what we always dreamed was the meaning of life?”
