If we want a society, indeed a future, that isn't defined by the exhaustion and anxiety so many are feeling right now, we have to practice slowing down (when we can), resting (as we're able), and simplifying (in any way we can) which will result in less drag on our finite resources. It's not possible for everyone to make such choices right now, I know, but it is possible for me. And maybe for you, too. —Holly Wren Spaulding, Letter + News from Holly: Useless Things
