Dear Nrg, new Grand-daddy,

I saw your tender post on Divinity's Lightworkers thread today ~ about how the past two days you've felt all your karma coming 'round and slapping you in the face and heart... I hear you.

I am typing through floods of tears... me, who NEVER cries. I got a CD from "Celtic Woman" today, and I keep playing the song "Caledonia" over and over.

My beloved Patrick, my late Irish red-headed, red-bearded husband whose family was from County Cork and Dublin ~ he hated the song "Danny Boy", and he never wanted it played over his grave.

Once he told me a thousand times, "My favorite song is Caledonia." And, "If we ever have a daughter together, can we name her Caledonia?" "Will that be okay"? Okay? "YES, a million times "yes"... I screamed from the heavens ~ and the daughter never came... not to us, not for us. Life happens that way some times.

He died at 52 (I was 42)... 22 years ago. And only this year, on public tv, my Magi and I heard "Celtic Woman" sing... "Caledonia" ~ "Caledonia has been the only thing I have ever had".

Caledonia. Paddy and me. I was his Caledonia. I was the only thing he ever loved, the only thing he ever had. Now I have heard the words of his beloved "Caledonia" and now, after all these years of held-back grief too deep for tears... I cannot stop the flood of loving and remembering him.

Magi in the other room says, "It is okay. I would have liked him. You must have loved him very much."

Play it again, Sam. Play it as much as you need. Caledonia, my beloved Patrick, I will always love you ~ but I know something now: You belong to God, and you belong to Caledonia... that Shambala in your heart and eternal soul.

My Magi, who could and would have been your brother, is with me now, just as you predicted, in the last day before you died, when you were in the twilight zone between worlds.

Paddy you said, "Always remember that I love you. Always remember Caledonia. I have to go now. You have work to do. If I don't go, you love me too much. You won't do the work."

The work is what my beloved Magi and I do for God... joined in holy connunctio... a sacred marriage that is a *trinity*... God, Magi, and me...

And Patrick softly singing "Caledonia"... reaching down, over, and up, lifting someone up... helping someone... anyone ~ just like he always did.

Caledonia, my beloved Patrick. Caledonia is the only thing I have ever had.

Thank you Wasayo,

Presently I am very busy coordinating 5 things at once at school so my time is short. I will respond with more thought later. But the first thought that comes to mind is the song Caledonia and the very emotional lyrics:

Caledonia

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today

[Chorus:]

Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

[Chorus]

Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered, now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear

[Chorus]

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had


Then of course there is the famous blues song Caldonia:

Caldonia

BB King, Lowell Fulsom

Walking with my baby, she got great big feet
Long, lean and cranky and ain't had nothing to eat
But she's my baby, I love her just the same
I'm crazy about my baby 'cause Caldonia is her name
Caldonia, Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard?
I love you, I love you just the same
I'm crazy about you, baby, 'cause Caldonia is your name

You know my mother told me to leave Caldonia alone
No kidding, that what she said
She said, "Son, the woman ain't no good, leave her alone"
But mama didn't know what Caldonia had been putting down
So I'm going down to Caldonia's house and ask her just one more time

Caldonia, Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard?
I love you, love you just the same
I'm crazy about you, baby, 'cause Caldonia is your name

Did I tell you "I love you" today, Nrg? HOW MUCH I love you? I sure did mean to.

You answered my pain the perfect way ~ as a MUSICIAN.

With music.

The way my Paddy would have.

I love you. Caledonia... Calidonia. Wasayo
