Song: Simple Gifts
‘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,
Will be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right

Yoga teaches us to be “in the moment” and provides us with a tranquil, non-judgmental place where we can begin to transform.

Prelude: Enter, Rejoice, and Come In – played by the Biggest Crazy UU Band in Nashua at least
(courtesy of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua, New Hampshire)
Enter, rejoice, and come in. Enter, rejoice, and come in. Today will be a joyful day; enter, rejoice, and come in.
Open your ears to the song…
Open your hearts, everyone…
Don’t be afraid of some change…
