4. And Every Place Shall Be My Native Home/5.God Is His Soul, Infinity His Goal

The Incredible String Band is this awesome band from the '60's. They're total hippies, living in communes , playing sitars, into mythology and Buddhist philosophy. Maya is an epic nine minute song with a wealth of poetic lyrics. Two of my collection come from this song. The first is "And every place shall be my native home". I love that line. I've been thinking a lot about what"home" is since coming to school. I think its very possible to feel at home where ever you are, as long as you feel at home with yourself. The second one is "God is his soul, infinity his goal". It's a triumphant declaration, one that I identify with.
