Don’t Despise the Simple or the Small
There is something soothing in the small activities of the home. Treating a stain with bar soap, scouring a sink clean with basic powder, simmering bones and veggies for a nutritious stock. All of these, plus many more, soothe and comfort as little else can.
I have read the same calming influence can be obtained in crochet and knitting. While listening to classical music and reading living literature likewise provide an exhale to the overstimulated.
Is it possible the reason so many require professional treatment for anxiety and stress is because so few engage in the small acts of a home centric life? Or is it because performing daily tasks by hand, the slow way, is even more rare in today's automated culture? Hmmm. It's something to wonder about.
To the pondering of the truth, beauty, and grace found in living low and slow,
Shalom, Shalom
