Simplicity

Simplicity is the right ordering of our lives, placing God at the center. When we shed possessions, activities, and behavior that distract us from that center, we can focus on what is important. Simplicity does not mean denying life’s pleasures, but being open to the promptings of the Spirit.We Friends seek to take no more than our share and to be sensitive to the needs of others, especially future generations.

You will say, Christ saith this, and the apostles say this; but what canst thou say? Art thou a child of Light
and hast walked in the Light, and what thou speakest is it inwardly from God? —George Fox
