“The mystery that you live inside
has left its mark like a seed that breaks,
to be bright while you sleep in the earth and the body of time;
out of this world without limits I’ll wish for your heart to wake
from its valley of light.

I’ll take you to the universe, to this point on a line in space,
beyond your body of earth, in this earth of signs;
and out of this world without limits I’ll wish for your heart to wake
from its valley of light,
its valley of light.”

A set of “stones” for ritualistic purposes – a rite of passage, personal transformation, grave goods and so on. It was inspired by a turkish legend which tells how ‘on the black mountain, streams flooded a cave and filled a pit, shaped like a human being, with mud. The cave acted like a kiln and nine months later the heat of the sun brought the figure to life, the first man.”
