Take Me to that Home

       So Ethan wrote to me and said let's write a song about a place of worship.  Something like "House of Stone and Light" or Tom Waits' "Come on Up to the House."  I'd never thought about writing a song about a church so I figured why not? 
      I sat down and did my usual stuff.  Drank some tea, ate a cookie.  Did a quick word map where I started with the word curch in the middle.   I did an object write which was fun (I remembering engaging in a fantasy about swinging from the lights of the church like tarzan a lot during mass as a kid) but it wasn't quite where I wanted to go.  Then I started doodling a picture of a church.   Like a lot of people I don't have all great associations with church, but I wanted to write a gospel-y song and it won't do to write gospel song that is down on churches.   The doodling helped though cause I found myself drawing a guy sitting outside the church mediating and somehow that made something click for me.  And thus, this song came out of it.
