1980- Perhaps Love

In this archival video from December of 1980, we see John's first performance of Perhaps Love, which shows the vulnerability that he was experiencing personally and professionally at this time. 

"Perhaps Love"

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm

 It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm

 And in those times of trouble when you are most alone

 The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door

 It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more

 And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do

 The memory of love will see you through

 Oh, love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel

 For some a way of living, for some a way to feel

 And some say love is holding on and some say letting go

 And some say love is everything and some say they don't know

 Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain

 Like a fire when it's cold outside or thunder when it rains

 If I should live forever and all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you

1991- The Wings That Fly Us Home

We are teetering on the edge these days, folks. Let this song still your mind and calm your heart and prepare you to speak your truth.

From the August 1991 Windstar Choices Symposium in Aspen, CO. The Wings That Fly Us Home There are many ways of being in this circle we call life A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine Is a hero's blood more righteous than a hobo's sip of wine Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun I dreamed you were a prophet in a meadow I dreamed I was a mountain in the wind I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower I awoke with this: a flower in my hand I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one In the brotherhood of creatures; who the father, who the son The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens It fills the endless yearning of the soul It lives within a star too far to dream of It lives within each part and is the whole It's the fire and the wings that fly us home Fly us home, fly us home Words by Joe Henry, music by John Denver https://www.facebook.com/JDHealingTim...

1990- Eagles and Horses with interview

For inspiration on this day and for these times. May we each find peace that evokes these feelings:

"My spirit will never be broken or caught...
For the soul is a free flying thing
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
To rise up on glorious wings"

Let us rise up. Be all that we can be in this moment in time. Do the right thing. Effect cause for the betterhood of humankind and Mother Earth.
