In this age of sensory overload, more than ever we seek out simplicity--a still pond, quiet space to meditate, the solid stable comforts that are so elusive. Creative leaders through the centuries have understood that simple beauty is one of the highest goals. Albert Einstein said, "Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." But as the Apple slogan used to say: Simple is hard. With the frustration of always feeling 'plugged in,' we all need creative ideas and inspiring encouragement to slow down and experience the beauty of life and relationships. This beautiful book celebrates the blessings of simplicity, with reflections from a wide array of authors as well as songs, psalms, and prayers.
