I just really, really need to share song lyrics that moved me deeply this morning:
From Such Great Heights, by Iron & Wine:
I am thinking it’s a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images
And when we kiss they’re perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God Himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true it may seem like a stretch
But it’s thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you’re away
And when I am missing you to death
And then Wings for Marie, Pt. 2, by beloved TOOL:
We listen to the tales and romanticize
How we’d follow the path of the hero
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
How we’d rise to the height of our halo
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations
None of us have actually been there
Not like you
…
High is the way, but all eyes are upon the ground
THE CLOSET MYSTIC
