Religion & Spirituality
An address by the President of the Unitarian Church of SA, Jennie Dyster, recorded on Sunday, 12th August, 2018 in the Unitarian Meeting House in Adelaide. Jenny uses A.A. Milne's character, "Winnie the Pooh" to show the virtue found in simplicity and spontaneity - as distinct from complexity and artifice. Jenny whimsically applies the Taoist "Principle of the Uncarved Block" to Pooh - that "bear of (supposedly) very little brain". She concludes that when we discard arrogance, complexity and a few other things that get in the way, sooner or later we'll discover the ability to enjoy the simple, the quiet, the natural, the plain - and the virtue to be found in unpretentiousness.
