Ali Clarke :flag_tino:<p>“When you stop chasing after what you don’t need, what you already have becomes more visible. And often, that includes things we’ve been told to devalue, rest, slowness, care, and reciprocity. These aren’t leftovers. They’re the foundation of any life worth living.”</p><p>I really like this piece by Pieter de Beer from The Sufficiency and Wellbeing Magazine (though unfortunately it’s on Substack 🫤)</p><p><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/sufficiency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sufficiency</span></a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/SimplePleasures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SimplePleasures</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.sufficiencywellbeing.com/p/the-luxury-of-enough" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sufficiencywellbeing.com/p/the</span><span class="invisible">-luxury-of-enough</span></a></p>
