I guess a healthy poverty and simplicity is having only as much of whatever as I need. Unhealthy wealth and complexity is having much more than I need. My daughter does a lot of business related traveling. She took me to India with her, much of the trip being not simple or anonymous, but it was a humble gift to a place I wanted to go and thought I never would go. We went to several ancient cities and places considered sacred and it was a remarkable experience. I still revel in gratitude for receiving the gift. What helps me cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity is my goal of holding on to only what I need and giving away what I don't need. Detachment is a healthy poverty and simplicity that brings joy and I live that way a little more and more. Less is usually enough.
