About Yesterday's Kite...

I told you yesterday about the kite at the Stones of Callanish: my initial irritation and and annoyance, then the realization of the freedom, joy, and no lessening of love Chuck has now. Further knowledge emerged this morning: I am no longer bound to this place or to those stones. It's a funny thing to say that I was 'bound' to them, but I think that somehow I thought part of Chuck was somehow here and that, when I left, I would be leaving him.  The kite freed me! Chuck isn't hanging around Callanish waiting for me to come visit, he is free! And he is where I go. I do enjoy, respect and appreciate Scotland and especially Lewis and the Stones, but my heart is no longer tied to them. I bought some giclee prints of three watercolors for my living room; they will be enough.  They will be enough. Something happened to me here, and they will be enough.

  1. Fly my kite to Callenish
    And let me play among the stones
    Let me know what Scotland's like
    When I'm once again alone

    In other words, you are free
    In other words, something happened to me

    Fill my heart with memories
    Of Harris and the sea
    Knowing Chuck is free to fly
    And still be standing next to me

    In other words, be here and now
    In other words, my heart's no longer bound
