JD and Neale Donald Walsch/Conversations w/God
CamFre
This discussion (see below) was written by Neale Donald Walsch
(www.conversationswithgod.com)<A
HREF="http://www.gui.com/cwg.html">Conversations With God</A>...under his
Monthly Letter called Timely Topics....It was posted right after John
died....It truly gives you goosebumps when you read the whole
article..unfortunately it no longer is on the website and I have never been
able to access it thru the search...However, I have been sending copies of it
along with the book "Seeking Grace with Every Step--The Spirituality of John
Denver" by Father Mark Boyer...I feel it was a very important piece as it shows
how even though John had accomplished so much he still wasn't sure he had done
enough...
Perhaps if people are interested, I can post the whole article on the newgroup
or if you want a copy and don't have a printer, you can send a SASE envelope
and some change to cover making copies and I will send it to you...
You can email if you want my address.....
Peace Cam
There is a promise in the journeys of the mind....You begin to believe that
there are miracles you will find...And that someday you'll remember who you
are...The seed within a bright and shining star........John Denver

One more post from me. I read someone asking him/herself if John would have
realized he would be missed so much. That reminded me of something I read a
while ago. It was written by Neale, writer of Conversations with God.
"Not long ago I was sitting around with my friend John and we were just talking
about life. Mainly, life on the road. John and I had each spent a lot of time
on the road the first six months of this year, and we were both a bit road
weary.
At one point John looked at me and said, very quietly, "I don't know, Neale.
Sometimes I wonderwhether it's all worth it."
I was a bit surprised. John's life had seemed to me to be about as bountiful as
anyone's life could be, andhis contributions to the planet were conspicuous and
enormous. I told him so. But it was the way that Itold him which struck me. I
don't know why I did what I did, or said what I said. But suddenly, for
noapparent reason, I sat myself directly in front of him and looked him
straight in the eye.
"John," I said, and I was feeling very solemn, very serious - which is unlike
me - "if I never see youagain, know this: your life and work has touched so
many people. So many. It has touched them withlight and love, it has brought
them smiles and gladness, great joy and upliftment, and yes, even hope. Youhave
meant so much to so many, John. Yes, it has been worth it. Profoundly, yes.
Don't ever, ever, everthink otherwise."
My friend looked at me searchingly, and I thought I saw him become just a
little misty-eyed. "Thank youfor saying that to me," he said".
Thought you might enjoy this. Feel free to visit <A

Hearing about John saying thank you for saying that to me.......while
getting a little bit misty- eyed, brought a tear to my eyes........

Dear Cam,
I read your post to the JD newsgroup...and i would like very much to
have a copy of Father Boyer's book...i will send you money if you would help me
out with this. I printed a copy of the Neal Donald Walsh interview when i
first saw it. I agree it is a very interesting thing to read. Please let me
know how to get money to you for the book.
Peace....
