We might all know these truths but somehow don`t think about it much, maybe carried away with daily tasks to survive in this fast paced world. Thank you for reminding us once again what is important and how to connect with nature. Regards, Rana Dear Vince,

Most important is our attitude facing health. Too often we are goin to our doctor and say "I d'ont feel good please give me a fast relief; some thing to take from outsife of me, that will magicly ease my pain and unconfortable feeling". In that way we don't have to ask ourselves questions, we don't have to make effort, we don't have to introspecting ourselves. Be actors of our health is the most important thing, be responsible involves naturally efficient behaviors for health. Most of all we have to ask ourselves this quetion? Wath do I earn in beeing sick, wath is the primary and secondary benefits I gain in that case. Anger, resentment, jaleousy, conflict are often the source of desease. We'r leaving in country (occidental) in which we think that the brain is "the" thing, and where our body must follow the brain like a slave. In thinking that way, when we're sick we are desparate and we fell unjustice. True, we must eat healthy food to be in good shape. Most important is our attitude facing health.

The modern western world is helping people become and stay sick. But its not only highly processed/poisoned food that is making people sick. It is also the environment, pollution, chemicals, technology and hate. Having just being diagnosed with a breast tumour myself, I can say I feel without a doubt that this was caused by years of stress and incorrectly handling this stress. This of course included diet. Now I am facing the thought of how I can change my life for the better not only for myself but for others. Your writing has inspired me to work on this more when I recover from my surgery. Thank you. I will keep reading your journal. What you say is certainly true. The modern western world is helping people become and stay sick.

Thankyou. Simple food. Simple living. Simple living is also the key and what I aspire to (against all odds). Here I am, living in the inner 'burbs but find myself having to defend and challenge the pressure coming from all angles to build, extend, renovate. No one seems to get it out here ... no one understands why you don't want to live beyond your means - or why you'd want a backyard for your kids to grow veges in, play in mud, jump in puddles. No ... it's all about building to the absolute perimeter, up and out and everywhere. Big monumental statements of materialism. Can't they see it all means nothing? I love what my humble little 50's timber home brings with it. Testimony to a simpler time. A garden filled with frogs and earth that speaks of many vegetable gardens gone by. A place where my little girls can find secret paths, spot fairies and collect their self-grown fresh spring onions for tonight's salad. It is a constant effort to be mindful of what really matters in this life. It is so easy to lose insight and get sucked into everything that goes on around you. With gratitude for your wisdom and insight. Please keep writing. Beautifully put and a true eye-opener. Thankyou. Simple food. Simple living.

The friends I made and the music of Vince Jones are two of the most important things that have stayed with me from my brief time living in Australia. I am now happily married and living in Spain (my Spanish wife loves your music too)and just wanted to thank you for the thought provoking journal entries on your website. Please keep it up. Best wishes Ken P.S. I was delightd to catch a snipet of your music while watching a recent movie with Robert DeNiro. Can´t remember the name of the movie but I´m sure you know. Dear Vince,
