Now I'm singing John Denver songs- Annie is my favorite: "You fill up my senses..."

What's yours?

I'm shy about sharing personal stuff and self- promotion. In my attempt to do so, here it goes.

Your essay mentioned John's friends who were Quakers. He resonated with them- his music was his spirituality and his service to all beings.

I resonate with that, as it is my calling to serve all beings. Wildlands is authentic, as is John Denver's art/ music/ mission. I was told that I am "like a Quaker," (I have no association that I know of- it is a very high compliment, imho.) And, a subscriber/ creator of Steeped Stories @Mary Ann Rollano, said my poem, "I AM Nature, We Are Nature", reminded her of Ralph Waldo Emerson!

? piqued anyone's interest?

Me, whew, can't wait to not get any responses. My algorithms are low. Aaaand, my blood pressure is normal, my attitude is good. Lol...CRICKETS...

"Is this thing on?" (said Adam Sandler in what movie?)

"Annie" is fifth for me, so in my Top Five. My favorite is "Rhymes and Reasons".

Quakers are special people. I had to pick a domination for my family in the five novels, and Quakers were the obvious choice.

Being in service, being useful, being a blessing to our fellow human beings through our vocation is always a beautiful thing, I think.

This is a dull response to your lively post, but I appreciate your liveliness about things that make our lives meaningful

I will check out "Rhymes and Reasons". Love that Quakers were the choice in your novels.

Thank you, may I "quake" my way to the top of the algorithms to reach the masses to help transform and liberate, with a special and lively service to all beings.

thank you, Mike, mea culpa, I look at who is reading, and don't focus on it, otherwise I would lose my focus, lol. I appreciate your support! My goal is to publish books, like you have...soon!

A great read and thank you, Mike, for honoring John Denver! His aunt worked at an shop in Tulsa selling eye wear, and my husband, who is from there, knew her and said she looked just like him and was the nicest lady! I love John's spirit, his music and his message! He inspired my work, which has similar themes and missions.
