From all your herds, a cup or two of milk,
From all your granaries, a loaf of bread,
In all your palace, only half a bed:
Can man use more? And do you own the rest?
from an ancient Sanskrit poem,
quoted by Rolf Potts in his book Vagabonding.

Yes! It’s the old thing of being rich in the fewness of our wants instead of the abundance of our stuff.
