Step by step it unfurls,

The simplicity of a new economy,

More slow, more simple, more abundant,

Allowing us to relax into the more important things of life.

And it begins by looking close, not far away.

It is nurtured in the fertile soil

Of gratitude and faith,

And best of all,

It rounces

The trappings of debt.

I see, a few generations off,

A generation of simple people

Around whom springs every needful thing.

And their principal work is praise.
