Strange, isn't it, that the values of real people — the things most of us truly care about — are not reflected at ALL in the values of our hegemonic capitalist consumerist culture...

The real luxuries:

• a good night's sleep
• slow mornings
• freedom to choose
• time for fun and play
• listening to birds singing
• long walks
• a good book
• favorite home-cooked meal
• colorful sunsets
• ability to freely express yourself
• day naps
• a good conversation
