Journal #66
Anne Morrow Lindbergh spent a month alone by the ocean, and wrote of her experience in Gift from the Sea: ". . . more of us in America than anywhere else in the world have the luxury of choice between simplicity and complication in life. And for the most part we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication. War, prison, survival periods, enforce a form of simplicity on man. The monk and the nun choose it of their own free will. But if one accidentally finds it, as I have for a few days, one finds also the serenity it brings." Drawing from you own experiences, explain whether you agree or disagree that simplicity in life brings serenity. Support your position with reasons, explanations, and examples.

REMINDER: The last day to hand in journals or standards letters and still receive some credit is Wednesday, June 11th.
