Awareness of the outside world.
Tis a gift to be simple, ’tis a gift to be free
‘Tis a gift to come down where I ought to be
And when I am in the place just right
I will be in the valley of love and delight

Exercise in drawing straight lines. What did I learn? My lines aren’t awful. Not custom car-painting straight, but not horrid. Horizontal easier than vertical or diagonal. Left-to-right/downwards is easier than right-to-left/upwards.
Inspired by Artistcoveries: As Straight as Humanly Possible.

‘Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free,
Tis a gift to come down where you ought to be,
and when you find yourself in the place just right
You will be in the valley of love and delight
When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we shant be ashamed
to turn and to turn will be our delight
And by turning turning we come round right.

There is an artist in my family who shuns rulers because they can paint a line on a wall more accurately without. And they can!
wow!
The song/hymn/tune came to mind because it was cited in the book from Saturday as a blessing/spell.
