"...Where have I loved you before
Was it just yesterday
Or millennia ago
I kissed, touched, held and needed you so
Your face is so different
Yet you, you're you, just you
Still glowing and silvery bright
Wondrous dancingly bright
I knew you the moment you entered my room
That infinite eternal night
Where have I loved you before..."
-Stanley Clarke-
Elements
I was fortunate to be able to purchase a large collection of exquisitely embroidered and stitched Antique Gypsy Kuchi & Lambani Textiles - and I am making special pouches, blessing bags, bangles and other items out of them. I hope you find them as special and mysterious as I do- their owners are unknown but their spirit is definitely colorful and creative!
Antique Gypsy Banjara Handstitched Textile Pouch - note the amazing embroidery work and tassels! A copy of the Lyrics of "Where have I Known you Before" is folded inside the pouch

Full Lyrics:
Where have I known you before
Where did we play among galaxies bright
Laughing and dancing, creating each night
Deciding the course, to then venture on out
Love, you, space and I
Free from fear, free from doubt
Where have I known you before
Where have I hurt you before
Where did I hurt you so deep - so deep
To hear you say you knew me not
When you alone could save me there
And free me from that tyrant's keep
Defender of the Vulcan worlds
Where filled my mind with blackened sleep
Where have I hurt you before
Where have I loved you before
Was it just yesterday
Or millennia ago
I kissed, touched, held and needed you so
Your face is so different
Yet you, you're you, just you
Still glowing and silvery bright
Wondrous dancingly bright
I knew you the moment you entered my room
That infinite eternal night
Where have I loved you before
Where did I lose you before
Was it when you gave your life
To save that pharaoh king
Or when our golden mothership took flight
Far away from Saturn's rings
Was it when we made the pact
Then drifted into violet space
So certain we would meet the other side
But there was no such place
Where did I lose you before
Where have I known you before
The moment I saw you I knew I had found again
the singer of a Thousand songs
That haunted every dream
The painter of the colors of my mind
Reminding me of places we had been
I'm seeing clearer now - the truth unfolds
The past all drifts away
You're back again my dearest friend,
You never went away.
