Over the last week I have read a book called ‘Plain Truth’ by Jodi Picoult, and it is a novel all about the life of the Amish communities.

I was so struck by the thought of how these people live. Although some of their boundaries and laws are quite extreme, I love the thought of living a plain life.

The simplicity, the purity, the plainess somehow highlighted to me the things that truely matter in life. People, conversations, integrity, loving with abandonment, believing the best in people, forgiveness, not holding grudges, living with little baggage!

I want to read up more on the Amish communities, which I think in contemporary culture get a bit of a bashing…But in my mum’s words. Very soon, everyones going to go back to basics and realise that in our pursuit of progression we lost sight what most mattered in our worlds, PEOPLE.

That’s it, plain and simple
