JOHN DENVER, SINGING AND DANCING ON SKIS!!
"I am one who dances with the mountains" -- John Denver
This blog's purpose is to convey just who is John Denver through his songs and actions.
John loved to ski and he was damn good at it. I had heard the song, Dancing With the Mountains, many times and as uplifting as it is, I ran into this You Tube video that conveys just how excited and high on life John really was; and the video lets John answer that question, Who Is John Denver, for himself.
I thought it very appropriate to share this during this holiday season when so many of us can feel that opposite of joyous and happy. It's almost like our feelings are increased by the comparison of what they are and what they "should" be during this season. Feelings just are. They are never right or wrong and what is more, no one can tell you how to feel. Be yourself. John had his moments of ecstatic joy and happiness as well as the times when he was down, distraught, disillusioned. He shared it all with us, and we loved him through it all.
I hope you enjoy the video and come to it often, even outside of winter, for a shot in the arm of over-the-top encouragement from John. It gave me the tingles as I felt his spirit invade my life, once again. As I listened and watched this video (three times+, I must admit!) the wind outside my window began to blow. Leaves, seeds, pine cones were falling and flying everywhere under the blue sky and the bright sun. You see, outside my window to the Sierra Mountains, it is where most of the year it is calm, warm, light breezes. Every so often, usually when I am missing John, I swear his spirit blows through "my little woods" letting me know that his spirit, that he, is with us. I whisper a "Hi John!" It happens too often to be 'just a coincidence' and if it is, so be it. It still brings his warmth, care and spirit to mind, and THAT, is as contagious as John's smile.
