After dinner tonight I was talking to my wife about hanging our chairs on the wall, like the Shakers used to do to make it easier to clean the floors. Then I came upstairs to see, "The Back Stairwell," a picture that has a bit of a Shaker look to it. And since the picture is on "One Little Joy," it also reminds me of the Shaker hymn, "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, It will be in the valley of love and delight.
Shakers in the Back Stairwell
