The Antidote to Greed

"There is more value in a study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world. The voice of greed inside us will tell us that there is a lot to do, that if we are going to achieve, to get the promotion, to expand our empire, we will need to keep working. But the voice of God tells us something different. That voice tells us to slow down, to be happy, just to be, to slowly learn the great art of doing not very much and feeling fine about it. This takes some learning, but when we do learn it, it is one of the best antidotes to greed there is." 

  --Graham Tomlin



The view from our deck, where I like to sit and "just be" and feel fine about it!
