It's About Time

The World Family Vision of John Denver

On October 12th... Please join us to reflect for a moment.....to reflect on the life of a wonderful human being....to reflect on the heart of someone who touched our lives so deeply that we cannot begin to explain how....to reflect on a true humanitarian; our mentor, our brother, our friend... "Yesterday I had a dream about dying About laying to rest and then flying How the moment at hand Is the only thing we really own And I lay in my bed and I wonder After all has been said and is done for Why is it thus we are here And so soon we are gone Is this life just a path To the place that we all have come from Does the heart know the way And if not can it ever be found In a smile or a tear Or a prayer or a sigh or a song And is so then I sing for my father And in truth you must know that I would rather He were here by my side We could fly on the wings of a dream To a place where the spirit could find us And joy and surrender would bind us We are one anyway Anyway we are more than we seem There are those who will lead us Protect us each step of the way From beginning to end For each moment forever each day Such a gift has been given It can never be taken away Though the body in passing must leave us There is one who remains to receive us There are those in this life Who are friends from our heavenly home So I listen to the voices inside me For I know they are there just to guide me And my faith will proclaim it is so We are never alone From the life to the light From the dark of the night to the dawn He is so in my heart He is here he could never be gone Though the singer is silent There still is the truth of the song Yesterday I had a dream about dying About laying to rest and then flying How the moment at hand Is the only thing we really own And I lay in my bed and I wonder After all has been said and is done for Why is it thus we are here And so soon we are gone Why is it thus we are here And so soon we are gone" "On the Wings of a Dream" - John Denver The 1998 message from Marcelle that is still so fitting... "It seems impossible that a whole year has passed since we lost John Denver. Many of us are only now beginning to heal. We feel his presence everyday and know that he is the those "singing skies and dancing waters". We hear his songs and they make us laugh, cry, love.... just as they did before. Yet many of those songs have new meaning for us.   This past year has indeed been bittersweet. Because of losing John, we have gained each other. The Family has united and become strong. Each and everyday, the family grows larger. John touched the hearts of many. It wasn't really clear how many until it was too late. His passing was a wake-up call to all of us. We had allowed him to do it all for so many years. Now we must be the ones to do it for him. He has handed us the torch and we have picked it up and begun to carry it forward. We formed IAT to follow John's vision and that is exactly what we are doing. Each one of us that does our own little part has contributed to the larger whole. Believe me, that whole is making a huge difference and we are being noticed. For the past several months, I have heard from many people thanking us for what we do. You can all feel proud that we are doing exactly what John wanted us to do. Let us continue to build on this foundation that we set this past year. Let us reach out to our communities and let them know that we are there...that we are there because of John and our love for him. Stand tall and be proud that you love John. It's time to show the world what has been and will be accomplished in his name. Thank you for being there from the beginning. Thank you for making it the dream we've always known! Soar with the eagles John. We will love you forever!" Please join us in our IAT group on Facebook Thank you! Sandy and Theresa
