Noble Arts
June 2nd, 2008. Filed under: Monday's Musings.I’ve been musing on a quote I recently read.
“Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.”
— Lin Yutang
This so eloquently describes what I would like to accomplish during this time of my life. I want to downsize and simplify. In other words, eliminate the non-essentials. Without the need to care for so much stuff, a person can truly appreciate the more important things of life – family and friends, the beauty of nature, the talents and abilities with which we’ve been blessed and most importantly, develop a deep and abiding relationship with our Creator.
Take time to slow down and appreciate the noble arts.
