Alright, it's November 12th and it is around 5.18 pm and I'm driving home passing Freedas Park, where in Tiroland, the Marin Civic Center built by Frank Lloyd Wright in San Rafael heading north on the 101 and had a little inspirational moment this morning that I should have recorded when it happened. I was decided to listen to some of my the Chattahoochi playlist. Oh and actually the reason why I did record it I guess was because I didn't really have time because the thought came to me so late right before work on it was on MLK as I was walking toward my building but I was listening to Alan Jackson his version of the famous like I guess it's like a Baptist Southern Baptist song trying to remember the name of it right now I believe it's called if I could tell the story and it's if I could tell the story I think the lyrics go like this if I could tell the story of unseen things above of Jesus and his glory of I'm obviously and well anyway so every time I hear it supposedly Buddy Holly knew this song and he sang it really well as a kid I think it was Buddy Holly and of course a famous Christian like you know Baptist Christian composer from the South wrote it and I could totally see this song being sung you know in a in a Southern like Protestant church setting in Texas and it definitely sets the stage for if you were to for the religious differences between of Florence and and the scene and you know Florence's world is that and unseen things above you know it's very important that kind of line because it ties back to the the age the secret society that has named themselves and after birds and models them they're kind of their beliefs and teachings and acts after the kind of unspoken communication of birds and yeah and so if and after I heard that song I immediately had to hear the what would be the Egyptian counterpart the Egyptian counterpart to that song and it would have to be a song that was sung during like Ramadan or during our Eid you know and I can only think of Talah al-Dedru al-Alein and it's definitely something that either I can see a setting where they're either in the the developing neighborhood of Shubra in the 50s and you know with alleys or or streets that today would look like alleys but might have been you know one lane streets for cars or maybe even keritas you know horse drawn wooden carts or you know stuff like that and I could see in the scene you know hanging out with his friends with that song in the background or perhaps one of his friends was singing the song you know and perhaps it segues into a story about the journeys we will take as as people in this life I mean and possibly one could make the segue into the story of the prophet how he and maybe the song is sung during the night of power even though they might not be it maybe they shouldn't be singing the song on that night but depending on who he asks but maybe the same wants to sing the song because it moves him so much and his friends don't like him singing and that makes sets this sets this distinctive personality of him he's opposed his his culture in some way but yeah maybe the same wants to sing the song about this you know about you know this song is technically about the prophet returning to mecca after you know being in Medina for so long and it's almost like a a song of closure for Muslims that really says we're here to stay but at the same time if you you know if you kind of pair this song with you know the concept of the night of power where the prophet actually supposedly you know rode on the winged horse some kind of winged creature would walk to you know to Jerusalem and then to heaven and and and knelt before God and saw all the prophets and prayed with them the you know the the imagery of the winged creature enough is is on par with the theme or at least the the aspect of you know the bird imagery so yeah and perhaps that's what sparks the conversation maybe as this seems sings the song a bird lands you know on a bird perhaps arrives near where they are um seated maybe they're on a bridge look overlooking the Nile maybe they're just hanging out in a in a side street of Shobra maybe they're um yeah I think it's it would be one of those and and night is an odd time for a bird to show up and so it would surprise them and both perhaps serve some significance as well um but yeah that would definitely be kind of the if there were I think a setting for two chapters though that would be it so just just kind of vocalizing these thoughts as I uh as I drive here uh I'm looking at the Buck Institute now so uh yeah that's where I am and uh okay done
