... humming this today

. . .



'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right."


imperfect stone combined with perfect prose ... simple

sharing with Emily this day

It is a singing stone! I would love to let it whisper in my ear about simplicity. Stones know this.
