I am a little over whelmed when it comes to having hope for the environment. After the hurricanes Katrina and Rita perhaps I am feeling a little to much pain to find my courage right now. It won't last long, so don't worry about me! I am taking to quoting John Denver, for his music is a true inspiration to me. I will always be partial to eagles and am so grateful they have survived! Maybe all is not lost.
To kick off this message board I am posting this song and I hope that we will see a more "Conscious" United States of America after this sad road we have traveled.
The Eagle And The Hawk John Denver/Mike Taylor
I am the eagle, I live in high country In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers But time is still turning they soon will be dry And all those who see me and all who believe in me Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars And reach for the heavens and hope for the future And all that we "can" be, not what we are

Goin’ up to alaska Up to the land of the midnight sun Where the whale and the polar bear run O’er the icy blue sea
Goin’ up to alaska Up to the north and the pioneer life Where courage and strength still survive And a man can be free
American child, does the call of the wild Ever sing through the mist of your dreams Does it fly with the wind when you waken again When it’s gone do you know what it means
Can you picture the time when a man had to find His own way through the cold To come back again to all that you’ve been Can’t you see that it’s time to come home
To the flowers and seas and the rivers and the trees And the earth who’s the mother of all A promise once made - will it shine, will it fade Will we rise with the vision or fall
Goin’ up to alaska Up to the land of the midnight sun Where the whale and the polar bear run O’er the icy blue sea
Goin’ up to alaska Up to the north and the pioneer life Where courage and strength still survive And a man can be free
Men can be free Goin’ up to alaska Goin’ up to alaska Goin’ up to alaska
Words and music by john denver and joe henry
