Cave Man, by Chris Smither
This beautiful song brought tears to my eyes.
It's one of those rare songs that you want to listen to over and over.
Most of my incarnations were paleolithic. I am a cave man who has found himelf in an uncomfortable, but necessary incarnation, in the 21st century at the end of the cycle. One last time around the wheel.....
All of my life, I felt like I was misplaced in time. My favorite activity as a boy was to play at being a cave man. I made spears and clubs out of whatever I could find. I collected arrowheads and other Indian artifacts from the fields around my house; held them in my hand, and wondered why I wasn't back in those days. I would sit and watch a tree or a bird for an hour at a time.
It will be a glorious day when I can stand in the light and recall all of those lives in detail.
