    That meteor shooting across the sky was a gift from God for John. Thank you, John Denver, for all the gifts you gave us through your eyes into your words and music. I will never forget.💛🌻💛

      Patti, for french ears our dear John Denver "speak from nose"... Like many US people !
      But, I love this singer...! Great melodist, so good guitarist and beautiful texts.
      So sad ending.

    John Denver seemed to keep mortality in mind throughout his music, to appreciate our limited time, appreciate this very moment, regardless of age.
    Funny songs like "When I'm 64",
    "..the coming of the winter, the fear it is within you now, it seems to never end." of "Rhymes & Reasons"
    Of course"Lost a friend but kept his memory " (although could mean "no longer a friend", but the finality seems otherwise).
    The plee within "Summer" - "Do your senses know changes when they come?
    Can you see yourself reflected in the seasons, can you understand the need to carry on?"

    Wow, although I’ve never been to Colorado or seen the Rocky Mountains, the way John talks and sings about them it’s like “seeing/being” there..I can “feel” like I’ve been there. Thank you!

    "being part of the nature grown from it and going back to it". That's beautiful feeling, when we walk among the trees, grasses, and bushes breathing that there air different aromas touch our brain and feelings through our noses, we have our senses to feel this nature around us, actually we are part of nature from billions of years ago and our senses bridge and keep us connected to where we belong to, it's not by surprise we have our senses.
