I was thinking of the beauty of simplicity this morning and remembered the song by Shaker Elder Joseph in the late 1800s.
- 'Tis a gift to be simple, 'tis a gift to be free
- 'Tis a 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 bend we shan't be asham'd,
- To turn, turn will be our delight,
- Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.
