Simple Living Is Calling

As some areas in the world are "opening up" after many weeks of self-imposed (mostly) sheltering-in-place as a way to combat the COVID virus, my hope is that new we see new cultural habits being formed. Habits that focus less on technology and more on living simply. Impulses that are more gracious than reactive. Ways of engaging with each other that are not "distancing." Efforts to bring people together rather than push them away. And especially the intentional rejection of tribalism. If that comes to happen, even a little, perhaps there's a silver lining in this global catastrophe. Stay safe. Read books. I'd love to know what you think of this one! ;-) #fantasy #adventure #kids #youngadult #pandemic #simpleliving #habits #culture

Book Excerpt

The Quest for the Temple Key

The Wheelens felt out of place, certainly, if not even “out of time,” staying with the Skulstads for a few days. Peter enjoyed rising while it was still dark to help Johann with his chores. Some of the farm animals were in dire shape upon their return and needed urgent attention. But they had gotten them cared for in time. For her part, Amy felt like she was on a special research assignment, tasked with immersion, learning as much as possible about northern European agricultural-based living in the nineteenth century. The simplicity was breathtakingly inviting to her. There was nothing easy about helping Heidi run a farm without electricity, combustion-based equipment or running water. Without the added distractions of radio and television, the focus was so narrowly—and appropriately—on family, it was easy to embrace even while accepting the hardships of living that came with it. Johann and Heidi welcomed the help and deepening friendships.
