Healing Time on Earth (Let the River Run), was one of the last songs Denver was working on. This was recorded live at his Windstar Symposium in 1995. The song was never recorded in a studio for distribution, there is only this live, perhaps incomplete version. We are honoring Mr. Denver, his music, and his vision with this post on the anniversary of his birth.

Poems for Hungry Minds
“I first
met poetry as a warm starry night –
and cloudless.
Wordless joy, both dazzling and calm,
steadfast and ever-moving.
No desire to leave.
She was a quieting immensity.”
~ Charles Kinnaird

To read more about the wonders of poetry, the
marvels of life, or the complexities of relationships from the varied angles of
several fine poets, consider opening the pages of Poems for Hungry Minds. The
book is available now on Amazon or at Barnes and Nobel.
From the Preface:
This anthology gathers the voices, wisdom, community, fellowship, and longing for a better world through awareness, deep examination, and the joy of poetry. The HIGHLAND AVENUE POETS are a long-standing community of southern poets meeting monthly to workshop, edit and collectively refine their work.
Poetry slows the urgent world and grants a focus on life within it. The discipline practiced by these authors has occasioned a kind of communal joy - poems that reflect a community of compassion for the world.
You are invited within.
