So little I need!A crust of bread,a drop of milk,and this sky,and these clouds!
Velemir KhlebnikovI remember vividly that day of my late childhood (I must have been about thirteen), when I decided that I had to learn to live on very little, preferably bread and water only. The idea wasn't inspired by any specific events "in real life", rather by reading and conversations, but I somehow had come to the conclusion that learning asceticism as a way of life would give me independence from the life's ups and downs and save me from the temptation of selling my mind and soul for the sake of earthly comforts, as so many have done before me.
