| Denver Delights ... From time to time, little things happen that remind you of John. They always make you smile ... I like to call them 'Denver Delights' ================================================================= Thanks for sending me your 'Denver Delights' ... Keep them coming and look for them in future newsletters ... Laura ================================================================= From Laura: I'm always alert for Denver Delights ... Just last week as I was leaving one of the nursing facilities I visit ... I realized I recognized the music coming from one of the rooms I had just walked past. Of course, I made an about face and stayed around to finish listening to "Take Me Home, Country Roads" on a local radio station! What a thrill it is to hear John on the radio again ... or should I say still! <+><+><+><+><+><+><+><+><+><+><+><+> From Jenny: Last weekend I went to the Renaissance Festival in Concord, NC. Its gotten to be a yearly thing with us. Its a great family outing and the kids and I always enjoy it. But this year I got a little added treat. While my boyfriend, Tim, and I were standing in line to get a roasted turkey leg, there was a minstrel playing all kinds of funny tunes to amuse the many people waiting. All of a sudden, I noticed a very familiar tune and Tim and I both turned to eachother at the same time and said, "That's Country Roads." Same tune, different lyrics, but it was Country Roads, none the less. I didn't realize John's music reached back THAT far! It just goes to show that John's music reaches out to all times and different kinds! Far Out!!!! Peace, Jenny |

| This months Centering Tip from Tom Crum ... A Willingness to Listen Last week I visited Mesa Verde, the home of the ancient Anasazi people. The Anasazi, as you probably know, have been etched into history by their well preserved homes - pueblos, kivas, and towers - built right into the high cliffs in southwestern Colorado. I had taken the tour of the cliff dwellings many years earlier and I had heard the park service's standard presentation. "The Anasazi lived peacefully in these cliffs for eight hundred years," the guide and the literature insisted. "But then, one day, they suddenly disappeared." Drought? Disease? An enemy? No one knew for sure, and the mystery of it all made for a stimulating tour. Well, now there is a new story. The Anasazi didn't just "disappear" one day, the guide told us. They actively decided, over time, to leave their cliff dwellings because "it was time." They descended to lower elevations and peacefully mixed with the other southwestern Colorado natives. No mystery, no suspense, just a natural lifestyle evolution. This new story apparently developed when the park service began to acknowledge the reports and evidence provided by the local native American citizens. In a spirit of cooperation, the park service is seeking the greater truth. They are giving up a need to be right. They are listening with new ears, and coming off their positions. I think this kind of open-mindedness is courageous, and it will inspire me to be less tenacious when I am defending what I think is right. ...Cathy Crum Announcing .... Tom Crum has a new book! "Three Deep Breaths: Finding Power and Purpose in a Stressed-Out World" will be published by Berrett-Kohler Publishers in May 2006.
