Perhaps
the most basic challenge humanity faces is to awaken our capacity for collective
knowing and conscious action so that we can respond successfully to the immense
social and ecological difficulties that now confront us.
It
is the example of each person's life, much more than his or her words, that speaks
with power. Even the smallest action done with a loving appreciation of life can
profoundly touch other human beings.
The
intention of this way of life [voluntary simplicity] is not to dogmatically live
with less. It's a more demanding intention of living with balance. This is a middle
way that moves between the extremes of poverty and indulgence.
A
new global culture and consciousness have taken root and are beginning to grow
in the world.
--Duane Elgin & Coleen LeDrew
