'Tis the gift to be simple,'Tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down
Where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend,
We will not be ashamed.
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Until turing around, we come round right.
From Simple Gifts , written by Shaker Elder Joseph Brackett in 1848.
P.S. Amanda said Nova was good for about 2 minutes in the swing today. Well, a start :-)
Hi Sue! Little Miss Nova is getting more beautiful every time I look at your pictures!! Sorry to see she doesn't like the swing much....Maddy and Katie loved the swings, but Ally didn't much care for hers.
ReplyDeleteLittle girls are so wonderful! We think she might like the swing later-- I brought over a baby chair with "soothing vibrations" and she seems to like that. Mostly she just wants to be held :-) Which is fine with Grandma!
