On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine

On a mountain in Virginia stands a lonesome pine

Just below , is the cabin home of a little girl of mine .

Her name is June and very , very soon  she'll belong to me

For I know she's waiting there for me 'neath that lone pine tree .

In the blue ridge mountains of Virginia , on the trail of the lonesome pine,

In the pale moonshine , our hearts entwine

Where she carved her name and I carved mine

Oh June , like the mountains I'm blue

Like the pine I am lonesome for you

In the blue ridge mountains of Virginia

On the trail of the lonesome pine

The month of June has always been a bitter month for me.... it has in the past represented separation as it has been the time I have been separated from my family and friends. On many occasions that separation has been permanent which is the hard part but we have to follow the path that we are destined to travel in order to get home. As I mentioned in my previous post we have to travel halfway.

This week I travel to another island for a family reunion and many amazing things await me there however I have to keep my eyes and my feet fixed in the right direction and not be distracted from my goal and purpose.

Narrow is the Way and Few there be that find it which makes it a lonely road to travel on. Most turn back as they are not willing to let go of this world or be prepared to sacrifice everything including themselves.

It will be worth it as the further down the road we travel the more we remember who our True family really are and what a reunion that will be when we reach our final destination.

Brothers Under the Sun

This week I have offended some however as another old Russian proverb states

The first steps on the journey begin this week with a reunion on an island and will end with a much bigger clan gathering  and one which we have waited many centuries for.

We need to keep our torches burning bright to help guide the Way and ensure they do not go out.

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

So I've been telling old stories, singing songs

That make me think about where I came from

And that's the reason why I seem

So far away today

[Chorus]

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you

That I think about you all the time

Caledonia you're calling me

And now I'm going home

If I should become a stranger

You know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything

I've ever had

Oh and 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

Oh and I have tried and kept on trying

Stolen dreams yes there's no denying

I have traveled far with conscience flying

Somewhere with the wind

Now I'm sitting here before the fire

The empty room, the forest choir

The flames that could not 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 the hands are shaken and the kisses flow

Then I will disappear

See you Again
