Hi Folks,

Below are the words and a link to a beautiful choral arrangement of the traditional Shaker song, "Love Is Little."

We thought it was a poignant, affirming, and calming song for living in these turbulent times.

Happy Valentine's Day!

LOVE IS LITTLE

Love is little, love is low,

Love will make our spirits grow,

Grow in peace, grow in light,

Love will do the thing that’s right.

Love is gentle, love is small,

Love will find the best of all,

Find the peace, find the light,

Love will do the thing that’s right.

Love is silent, love is strong,

Love will sing a quiet song,

Sing of peace, sing of light,

Love will do the thing that’s right.

Love is wonder, love is grace,

Love will bind all in its place,

Bind the peace, bind the light,

Love will do the thing that’s right.

~traditional Shaker hymn

BE GENTLE, BE STRONG,

BE PEACE, BE GRACE,

BE LIGHT, AND BE LOVE

TO THOSE AROUND YOU,

TO EARTH AND

ALL THAT IS IN IT.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
