We are but a single member of a cosmic community whose extent reaches farther than imagination.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:23-24)
Material goods cannot burden us past death, but I hope that I discover this freedom from riches before then.

Very nicely and simply put. I have lived a vow of poverty since 1996, and made a few notes about that today on my blog: http://dianestranz.wordpress.com. I’d love to hear what you think.
Also, are you familiar with Peace Pilgrim? You might find her life inspirational.
