Simplicity, Love and Integrity

The themes in the Friends (Quaker) meeting today were simplicity, love and integrity, very timely in view of the excessively capitalistic manner in which most people move through the holidays.  I have been asked several times about how my Thanksgiving was and my response is always something to the effect of “quiet, with a simple but special vegetarian meal”.  The fact is that Maria and I have a simple, uncluttered life, which leave room for spiritual and emotional connections.
