Becoming Minimalist

Own less. Live more. Finding minimalism in a world of consumerism.

william wordsworth on minimalism

Written by joshua becker · 1 Comment

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!

from “The World is Too Much With Us” by William Wordsworth, 1802.

    So, what would want our world and society to be? Can dreams ever be realized?

    Just as we make a list of possessions we’d like to keep, we need to make a list of attributes as well.

    One reflects the other.
