Timeless Simplicity
Timeless Simplicity
Too much politics/economy/hassle/monkey business for me to be involved in at present,so I turn to my fave book: Timeless Simplicity,Creative living in a consumer society. by John Lane . Totally good bloke,big cheese in the Schumacher / Dartington place in Devon.Hard book to get hold of now.Free if you pm me,just pass it on.It's excellent.Anyone else read it?

Re: Timeless Simplicity
Sounds wonderful - I'd love to read it if you fancy posting it this way BonnieT 

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Timeless Simplicity
Doubt it,I've never seen it even in 'alternative' bookshops,,I got it from the NCAT 6 years ago.It's not the holy grail,but just comforting in a sort of Quakerish way.

I found it on Amazon last night. There's a Look Inside feature and you can read the first and last bits - it's wonderful!
