Moored

But I think morality is more or less moored to reality. (Ality-to-ality, more than -ism to -ism.) So the suggestion that less is more is not a moral to pass around but a fact about how living things grow, from less of themselves to more of themselves to enough of everything asked to be both valid and sound, with any luck unstricken by a zeroing sum. Enough from finding to found (in the present tense). Enough being parsimonious (once there’s nearly enough) meaning generous. Not asymptotic to completion but willing to turn around and walk back differently and with less determination.

I think a satisfied person is a magpie of minimalities; a sinewy contentedness treading water (water that falls away when it will).
