I would say one of my favorite memories is when my father would have me join him in the living room in my New Jersey home. He would begin to put music on to share with me and not only listen to the instruments but also to pay close attention to the words of what the poet songwriters were expressing. Sometimes these created great talks for my father and I about the wonder of this life we all live. I grew up listening to artists such as Peter, Paul and Mary, Jim Croce, and more of that genre. But, my favorite to sit and listen to, my ALL time favorite to this day is John Denver. I loved and still love listening to John Denver. His passion for making a difference through his poetry was a driving force in my life. I can't seem to find anyone today that expresses like John did. His expressive feelings on the earth, love, cultures, spirituality, peace, and animals (such as dolphins and whales which are my favorite) is a rare gem.
So I would like to share my favorite song this morning. It is common and you have heard it before I am sure. It might be a corny moment for me, but I want to share it anyway. His usage of comparing love for another with the love of nature and how it is all one in the same evokes the most wonderful deep emotions for me and I am sure others as well. So a little musical sharing from me this am. Come and sit in my blog living room and listen to his words.
A big thanks to my dad for sharing these wonderful singers with me in my life and another big thank you to the late John Denver who still inspires to this day and through his words helps me to remember what I love most in life. I do not forget. This is a part of me always.
