       My Dear "Friend" John

 

                 by David L. Miller

 

How can some folks seem so akin -

   we've never met nor will.

Our paths uncrossed o'er oceans vast,

   you knew me not - but still -

Your music touched my very soul

   you brought a tear

      you filled a hole.

You taught me how to love our world

   in ways I'd never dreamed before.

We both yearned to fly into space,

   on eagle's wings, our sights to soar.

I wish I could have known you, John,

   though in some ways I do.

The passion of your voice sings forth

   each note, each word ring "You."

Although the Bard is gone away

   I never shall forget

Your twinkling eyes, your great broad grin,

   still echo with me yet.

Michiel has uploaded some special Christmas videos to his site

at http://www.tenbrug.nl/JohnDenver. 

Both are from bootleg concert recordings, one from the 1993

Christmas concert in Tulsa, the other one from the 1988

Christmas concert in New Haven.  So, enjoy almost 20 minutes

of John Denver Christmas music!

 

Michiel has also changed the menu style on his site a bit, because

the menu was not working with all internet browser programs. 

You can go to the most frequently updated pages (with clips of

John, and the overview of John Denver events in Holland and the

YouTube clips of Dutch fan club artists) directly from the menu on

the left of the Home page, the other pages are still available, but

now to be found through the sitemap.

Subject: “Three Deep Breaths” in Paperback!

      "Three Deep Breaths" by Thomas Crum

           Now Available in Paperback

 

Three Deep Breaths: Finding Power and Presence in a Stressed-Out World

These days all of us lead hectic, stressful lives. And most of us react to difficult circumstances by struggling against them, which only creates more tension. Three Deep Breaths provides a welcome alternative-a simple technique that you can use, no matter how busy you are, to transform tough situations into positive, energizing experiences. The technique combines our innate but underutilized ability to change our attitudes and perceptions of the world with the calmness and presence of a centered state of being.

Thomas Crum illustrates this radically simple technique through the story of Angus, who is struggling to break through the negative habits that lead to anger, exhaustion, and poor performance. We follow Angus as he learns to use powerful mind/body skills to maintain clarity and purpose in the midst of seeming chaos, to redirect negative energy to more positive purposes, and to open up a whole new world of possibility.

The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have difficulties but on how we respond to them. Tom Crum's teachings-which you can do in an instant, anywhere, at any time- will turn your stress of today into a purposeful, prosperous tomorrow.

Introductory Web Price: $9.95  http://www.aikiworks.com

     "Three Deep Breaths is an incredibly unique and effective approach to    

     dealing with stress-if used correctly, it could add years to your life."

                     -Stephen R. Covey, author of the bestselling The 7 Habits                        of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness

From:  Angie Wishart - Angus, ON Canada

One of our 2007 Canadian Idol (Top 8) contestants, Carly Rae Jepson

has released her new album and it features "Sunshine On My Shoulders".

It gets a lot of airplay on our local easy-listening radio station and it is a very good

version. I really enjoy it and hope that everyone gets a chance to listen to it.
