some inspiring lyrics from Emmylou Harris, and Kate & Anna McGarrigle

All I left behind, should come as no surprise
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Silver earrings in Wichita
Beaded moccasins in Tonapah
But I had you so, I just let them go
The flannel shirt I wore, to keep me from the cold
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
The leather boots I bought so many miles ago
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
Never did my armor feel so thin
When silk was all I had between me and your skin
Like Waterloo, I lost that too
And the golden bracelet with my fathers name inscribed
on the back by the one who loved him all her life
The way I too, could have loved you
The spanish shawl I put across the broken shade
of the lamp that lit the room
That last night in Cour d' Alene
Only little things, inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you, along the lost highway
Of All I Left Behind

RELEASE - Andrew, Brother Of Simon - Piece Three of 'The 12 Apostles'

Andrew, Brother Of Simon, is said to have been martyred by crucifixion at the city of Patras (Patræ) in Achaea, on the northern coast of the Peloponnese. Early texts, such as the Acts of Andrew known to Gregory of Tours,describe Andrew as bound, not nailed, to a Latin cross of the kind on which Jesus is said to have been crucified; yet a tradition developed that Andrew had been crucified on a cross of the form called Crux decussata (X-shaped cross, or "saltire"), now commonly known as a "Saint Andrew's Cross" — supposedly at his own request, as he deemed himself unworthy to be crucified on the same type of cross as Jesus had been (though of course, the privilege of choosing one's own method of execution is a rare privilege, indeed)."The familiar iconography of his martyrdom, showing the apostle bound to an X-shaped cross, does not seem to have been standardized before the later Middle Ages," Judith Calvert concluded after re-examining the materials studied by Louis Réauthat Andrew was in fact was crucified upon a diagonal or X-shaped cross.
