I heard - Danny Boy - do you hear me calling - or versus do you hearing the pipes calling. I heard do you hear me calling, which led me to research the song. Now anyone with Irish ancestry knows this song as a farewell song to the deceased. A song of remembrance. My thought is that we tend to forget our roots and that people worked and struggled for what we have today, in our lives. To how we have lost touch with our deeper roots and connection to the past and planet. That all is sacred and we should not take a death for us to remember the people or our past for a prayer to heaven or a song to reconnect with our truth. That the limited time that we have here should be spent as if we are walking on heaven's earth and treating people as such, as the heavenly beings that we are.
I also realized that part of the phrase of the song - When calls the heart and how four simple words seem to get lost nowadays. When we forget to listen or even be moved by the heart. That birth and death should not be the synopsis for life, that all of it counts, and what you put out in the world with be returned to by your own actions. When we don't question the meaning of life or what is important to us, we lose sight of those little delights in life, that bring us joy and happiness. To how we have forgotten who we are and why we came here in the first place. Life is for the living and to not fear of something that may never come to pass. If anything we never learned to breathe through the heart and reconnect to our own present, when it becomes too much.
For someone thinking but this is funeral song, well that is true. But can I change the passing of another, No. I can honor them for who they were and what they meant too me and respect that they now leave on another adventure. Which is one belief that most people agree with is there is a heaven or eternal life that we return to somewhere. Even if only to the earth, as dirty and stardust.
