Oh the unspeakable things

As I was looking at your lyrics, I again noticed Terrorbird, and I saw Dark Dark Dark, which reminded me of their song, Daydreaming.  I would hear that, in Jacksonville, and just ache with memories of Israel.
The train ride from Tel Aviv to J'lem was filled with such marvels I can scarcely describe, and a gloss would neither do them justice, nor convey their impact upon me, but the two which most stand out are:

The old Ottoman rail system which hugged the cliffs round; unimaginably difficult terrain, and what it took to build it then, and,

The ancient -- truly Ancient terraces built on the hillsides, for miles.  The lyrics and music of Daydreaming give but a gentle hint of my deep love for that land of my forefathers.

Think of a place I would goI'm daydreamin'Where the sycamore growI'm daydreamin'And oh if you knew what it meant to meWhere the air was so clearOh if you knew what it meant to meAnywhere but here
Oh now look to the eastGreat mountains remember meOh I wound around you for milesI sat down right there and stretched my bonesAnd oh if you knew what it meant to meOh if you knew what it meant to meOh if you knew what it meant to meYou would see, too
Oh oh oh oh ohOh the unspeakable thingsIt's land I can see for milesWith only the wind whisperingLand I can see for milesWith only the wind whisperingOh land I can see for milesWith only the wind whisperingOh I'd run as fast as I canThe land I can see for milesOh I'm searchingWith only the wind whisperingOh if you knew what it meant to meOh if you knew what it meant to meOh if you knew what it meant to meYou would see, too
Oh oh oh oh ohOh the unspeakable thingsOh oh oh oh ohOh the unspeakable thingsOh the unspeakable thingsOh the unspeakable things

Well, Love, I just thought I would share that with you.
Missing you terribly,
Kiss,
-K
