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.

Fly my kite to Callenish
ReplyDeleteAnd 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
