Simple Gifts a Shaker hymn '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, 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, 'Til by turning, turning, we come round right.

I'm feeling wonderful, listening to classical music at htt://www.kuhf.org while getting work done!

neither did i. but i'm glad that i did get to know about him, if only after reading his obituary. I totally identify with his ideas of doubt/faith and what among christians is called Gnosticism (Gospel of Saint Thomas) etc...

I danced in the morning When the world was begun, And I danced in the moon And the stars and the sun, And I came down from heaven And I danced on the earth, At Bethlehem I had my birth. Dance, then, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance, said he, And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he I danced for the scribe And the pharisee, But they would not dance And they wouldn't follow me. I danced for the fishermen, For James and John - They came with me And the Dance went on. Chorus I danced on the Sabbath And I cured the lame; The holy people Said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped And they hung me on high, And they left me there On a Cross to die. Chorus I danced on a Friday When the sky turned black - It's hard to dance With the devil on your back. They buried my body And they thought I'd gone, But I am the Dance, And I still go on. Chorus They cut me down And I leapt up high; I am the life That'll never, never die; I'll live in you If you'll live in me - I am the Lord Of the Dance, said he. Chorus

I didn't know about him until I saw his obituary. But even in death, his life story is so inspiring, at least to me. I just spent one hour getting to know more about him, and it touched me very much. So I'm sharing it here. You don't have to like it or anything... Author of 'Lord of the Dance' Dies at 88 Wed Mar 17,10:03 AM ET LONDON - Sydney Carter, a skeptical Christian whose song "Lord of the Dance" has entered many of the world's hymnals, has died. He was 88. Carter died Saturday in London, said his publisher, Stainer & Bell. The cause of death was not given, but Carter had suffered from Alzheimer's disease (news - web sites) for several years. In a survey in the 1990s, "Lord of the Dance" was rated the fifth most popular song at school religious assemblies in Britain. Carter's "One More Step" ranked No. 1, and "When I Needed a Neighbor" was sixth. "They are songs which can be sung in a Christian context, but they all had to mean something to me because I was often on the edge of not believing," Carter said in an interview with The Times of London in 1996. "Lord of the Dance" used an American Shaker tune, "Simple Gifts," and Carter said the words were partly inspired by a statue of the Hindu deity Shiva which he owned. "I did not think the churches would like it at all. I thought many people would find it pretty far flown, probably heretical and anyway dubiously Christian," he once said. Carter's skeptical attitude was reflected in the titles of two of his books, "The Rock of Doubt" and "Dance in the Dark." "Bibles, legends, history are signposts: they are pointing to the future, not the past. Do not embrace the past or it will turn into an idol," he wrote. One of this most controversial songs, "Friday Morning," put words in the mouth of a robber who was crucified with Jesus: "You can blame it on to Pilate, you can blame it on the Jews, "You can blame it on the Devil, it's God I accuse. "It's God they ought to crucify, instead of you and me, "I said to the carpenter a-hanging on the tree." Carter served in World War II with the Friends Ambulance Unit, run by Quakers, in the Middle East and Greece, where he was impressed by traditional Greek dancing. In the 1950s, he wrote material for the popular British entertainer Donald Swann. One of Carter's hits was "My Last Cigarette," and his "I Want a Little Bomb Like You" was a marching song for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. His anti-war song "Crow on the Cradle" was recorded by Judy Collins in 1962. Carter is survived by his wife, Neela, and their son. ___ On the Net: Carter profile, http://www.stainer.co.uk/carter.html

The scam artist Good-bye, Mother! A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. "Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who I haven't seen in a long time." "That's a shame," replied the young man, "is there anything I can do for you?" "Yes," she said, "as I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye, Mother!' It would make me feel so much better." "Sure," answered the young man. As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Good bye, Mother!" As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. "How can that be?" he asked, "I only purchased a few things!" "Your mother said that you would pay for her," said the clerk.

guess you're not enthu about selling it to moi! :dozey: :P
