Freedom that flies to the call of the wild
Celebrate living
-John Denver
Far Out!
October
12, 2000 marks the third anniversary of the death of John Denver, singer,
songwriter, actor, and humanitarian. He was the president and co-founder
of the Windstar Foundation, which respectfully encourages people throughout
the world to recommit to taking responsible action in support of a peaceful,
healthy and sustainable future for all on Earth.
In his memory, here's a letter from Cheryl Charles, Windstar Foundation Chairman of the Board urging each person, every day, to do something for a child and for the environment that supports us all.
Do something for yourself, to nourish your own abilities to care for others with grace and health. Do all that you do as a conscious choice. Do so with kindness, compassion, love, and laughter, and you will be demonstrating the kind of joy in life that John inspired in people throughout the world. His intellect, heart and enthusiasm will continue to live through time.
John Denver's spirit will live in the children for whom hunger has ended through The Hunger Project, in the trees planted through Plant-It 2000, in the lands left protected through the Alaska Wild Lands Act and the Windstar Land Conservancy, in the oceans brought to health with the help of The Cousteau Society.
John's vision and talent will live through the body of work he left here on Earth in his lyrics and music. Humanity is enriched through his gifts. He would welcome and encourage the many actions that individuals and groups of people have taken in support of work to benefit children, the environment, and peace in the world.
He would urge us to continue, with heart and integrity, to make the world a better place for generations to come. The Windstar Foundation encourages the good works of people and organizations committed to similar and other worthy purposes.
Through it all, in John's words, we "celebrate living -- the laughter that sings in the heart of a child, the freedom that flies to the call of the wild."
The life and legacy of John Denver was one of my inspirations in creating this publication. Enjoy the October issue.
Peace,
Darryl
