In the House of Stone and Light

Well, let's see. It's good to be back. I know it's still my first day back, but it's the second post, so oh well. My current theme song is In the House of Stone and Light By Martin someonewhoIcantremember. Page, actualy. Martin Page. Cool name. Anyways, that's my theme song. Currently. It kindof sums up the mood I'm in these days. Cool tune, wierd lyrics somewhat indicitive of personal discovery. It reminds me of the SHHE camp out this year, because I sang it when I was rowing single handed across the lake at twilight. Ooh, very poetic. Something that's very sagey to do. Rowing alone on a lake at twilight. And singing too. Especially that song. Here's the lyrics:

O Mount Kailas
Uncover me
Come my restoration
Wash my body clean
I've been walking
Along a crooked path
Where the walls have fallen
And broken me in half

I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
I'm gonna go
In the house of stone and light
I shall not cry for the blindman I leave behind
When I go
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light

Holy lady
Show me my soul
Tell me of the place
Where I must surely go
Old man waiting
At the gates for me
Give me the wisdom
Give me the key

I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
In the house of stone and light
I make my way O gonna be such a beautiful day
In the house of stone and light
O In the house of stone and light

(scat bridge)

Let me in
Beneath my skin
In the house of stone and light

It's been too long
My spirit's been at war Havasupai Shaman
Let me be reborn
And I will embrace the sun upon my face
Come the day I awake the child inside
In the house of stone and light
And when I go I will op - op- open my eyes
In the house of stone and light
I will see you
In the house of stone and light

(scat bridge)

I'm looking in beneath my skin
In The House Of Stone And Light (end of official lyrics. The rest is what I think it is by ear)
I'm going inside,
In the House Of Stone and Light
Lookin for the child
In the House Of Stone and Light
She my soul go searching for shelter
In the House Of Stone and Light
In the House of Stone and Light
I'm gonna let this child come and wash the world
In the House of Stone and Light
He's speakin softly to me
I must go there to Find my soul yeah
I can see so clearly now
I will go there to find my soul yeah
O keep on a knockin on my door
I must go there, to find my soul there
I will go there, to find my sould yeah
I must go there, to find my soul yeah

Anyways, that's how I'm doin these days. Among the other song I really like right now are 1973 by James Blunt, 100 Years By Five for Fighting(I'm hoping you all knew that) and That's All by Genesis. Also I'm thinking I should go back and mark all my posts with tags. I'm not sure it'd be worth the effort though. If my readers think I should then I will. That's all the news from the Highlands. Until next time then:

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the rain fall softly on your fields,
And may the Good Lord hold you in the palm of his hand,
Until we meet again.

We've got some new soap in the bathroom. It smells like the soap from you're old house, so I'm remembering all of the good times we had there. Star Trek, trampoline, Quintaria, legos, computer games, etc...
