LITTLE LUXURIES

Overwhelming explosion of leafy green – everywhere.

Line-drying your clothes in the sun – just to get that wonderful smell.

Listening to the crickets, grasshoppers, and birds.

A garden that needs cutting back rather than fertilizer.

The difference in temperature between the sun porch at 120 degrees, and the shade at 60.

Seeing the first flowers change in response to the first cool night.

Bare feet on a freshly mown lawn.

Living life at human scale.

You see that last bit?

That’s the whole of it.

We don’t need to increase productivity.

We need to decrease it.

There isn’t any need for it.

Unemployment is not a problem.

It’s only that we don’t pay people,

For constructing the social order:

Property rights, and the commons.

Human Scale.

We did not understand what we were doing.

We can end the century of mysticism.

Life and family are too beautiful to rush through.
