A Song's Best Friend: John Denver Remembered (2005)
Thanks, Howard, for the wonderful review; I loved this man!
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Howard for the wonderful review of the PBS special documentary film I was SO sorry to miss! Now 54 years old, John Denver's music and amazing spirit have filled my life with brilliant light, love and hope since my early 20's---and many a time have helped bring me back up from the depths of deep clinical depression, severe OCD,complex PTSD--ALL of which are not ME, the "I AM", true eternal consciousness of me. I believe John held those types of beliefs himself, from what I have read and studied of Jerry Jampolsky,M.D. and his wife Diane Cirincione of the Center for Attitudinal Healing, as well as work I have done with "A Course in Miracles" in the past, and Eckhart Tolle now. Like John, I am most at home in the HIGH WILD places, in the mountains. His songs touched my heart like no others, and his voice- so beautiful, so clear- was a blessing. I have not yet seen this film, but am ordering it tonight. The night I came home from work from the hospital laboratory (little hospital in the mountains where I actually saw John once, visiting an injured ski pro from his yearly ski event), and learned from the newscast of his transition, I sat down and sobbed. At least my (now ex) husband had once taken me to see him sing, outdoors, in person once; I thank God for that opportunity. Sorry for the length of this, I tend to over explain...
As John himself sang..."Though the singer is silent, there still is the truth of the song."....And I believe he is eternally with us, spiritually.
But still, how we all miss him.
