DREAMING MY WAY HOME I remember watching the special on TV that John Denver did. It was his last work on TV before he died. It was a great show. We got to see him with part of his family. There was Zach and Jessie Belle. We got to see so many of the things that he loved. Like fishing, exploring and singing, watching wild horses...even the process of writing his last song Yellowstone, Coming Home. One of those moments when the show rang out for me particularly, John had rappelled down a cliff face to view a young eagle. And he looked straight into the camera, and that's when this little moment took place, the seed if you will, for this little song. He said, "If I can come back, It'll be as an eagle." That comment started working on me a little bit and I thought of what it would be like to be an eagle, what it would be like if John we're an eagle. And I reflected on his home in the mountains around Aspen, Colorado, how he loved flying, how he traveled to the ocean shores in California and around the world. How his spirit still lives. John was so eloquent in his writing. In the song he wrote for his own father after he had died, we're the words, "though the singer is silent, there still is the truth of the song". Those words speak of the legacy we leave behind. And I would like to make a clarification of how I feel about legacy. I think the only thing we leave behind is the body. And that part of us that is most vital and ever present, is our spirit. And I think the term legacy is exactly the "what's so" inside each one of us. For me it's a natural thing to be aware of his gifts that I still enjoy in my life. And I think that he too is aware of us and the gifts that we gave him. For me John lives on.
