Pare down your desires. English novelist and playwright Jerome Klapka Jerome caught the spirit of that enterprise when he wrote,
" Let your boat of life be light, packed only with what you need---a
homely home and simplep pleasure, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someon to love you, a cat, a dog and a pipe too, enough to eat and enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, for thirst is a dangourous thing."


you will never leave me, Amathea, I said. I will respect your sleep and we will sit here together though all uncounted time, I holding you in my arms and you dreaming of the fields of Paradise. Nor shall anything part us, Amathea; you are my cat and I am your human.
Now and onwards into the fullness of peace.
