‘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.
– Shaker hymn, Simple Gifts
I was delighted to find Judy Ringer’s new CD, Simple Gifts: Making the Most of Life’s Ki Moments waiting for me when I got back from client travel, an unexpected gift from Judy. And when I popped it in my car’s CD player on the way to work the next morning, my delight increased. Judy’s sweet voice started my day right with her rendition of Simple Gifts, one of my favorite songs. I’ve been humming it as I’ve gardened all weekend.
Simple Gifts, the CD, is a mixture of Judy’s stories, singing and wisdom for re-centering and finding joy in life. It’s the kind of CD you want to listen to again and again, an uplifting reminder of what’s good and right in our lives and a gentle lesson in keeping balance even in difficult moments.
If you’re a fan of Conflict Zen, I think you’ll appreciate and enjoy Simple Gifts.
Thank you, Judy, for the lovely gift.
