It’s a gift to be simple
It’s a gift to be free.
It’s a gift to come down where we ought to be.
And when we are in the place just right
We will be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To laugh, to love, we will not be ashamed.
To turn, to turn, it will be a delight
Till by turning turning
We turn round right.
This is a song by Judy Collins set to an old hymn tune or something or a Beethoven melody–don’t know the details.
I just need the simplicity and ease, truth and comfort of this song today. So as I easily embark into a situation of confusion, powerlessness, fear, distrust and self-doubt, I turn easily, comfortably in truth and delight.
