Nature's Hand

 

Walking towards a wishful dream,

By your side a crooked stream,

Above, the clouds are fluffy cream,

No longer do you want to scream.

 

The air, it smells so sweet.

The birds go, twitter tweet.

Soft grass to place your feet.

You groove with nature's beat.

 

Out here, there are no cars.

Out here, there are no bars.

Nighttime brings you Venus, Mars,

Uncountable amounts of stars.

 

Take it all in friendly stride,

Don't ever feel you have to hide.

This is where you reach inside,

And spread your wings; feel them glide.

 

Your life is yours, not theirs to take.

Light a fire by the lake.

Always love, with whom you wake,

Never let your friendships break.

 

Always live without regret.

Don't give up, not now, not yet.

Know the future isn't set.

Appreciate what love you get.

 

I know that nature's trees are tall,

There's some you cannot climb at all-

Full in Spring 'til Autumn's Fall,

Covered in a winter shawl.

 

And as the seasons come and go,

You'll see the stream begin to grow.

Filled by your whole life you know,

Carried in the winds that blow.

 

Listen to the song it sings-

Love and peace is what it brings.

Sharing all the little things,

Smoothing over dents and dings.

 

That what living's all about.

Never fill it up with doubt.

Look real close to find this out-

Always seek the kinder route.

 

And you will see, my oldest friend,

This dreamy life, it has no end.

There's always more beyond the bend,

Nature's hand, a limb, to lend.

You build on failure.

You use it as a stepping stone.

Close the door on the past.

You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it.

You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

 

-Johnny Cash

 

Hi Ins.  Thanks for all the inspiration. I appreciate you always.

 

Johnny Cash was a good man. I'm a big fan.

Sharing what I believe to be one of the most beautiful songs

ever written: "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress"  by Jimmy Webb. 

 

 

Glenn Campell

https://youtu.be/I5K1s2M7jnc

 

Joe Cocker

 

Judy Collins

 

 

See her how she flies

Golden sails across the sky

She's close enough to touch

but careful if you try

Though she looks as warm as gold

The moon's a harsh mistress

The moon can be so cold

 

Once the sun did shine

Good Lord, it felt so fine

The moon, a phantom rose

Through the mountains and the pines

And then the darkness fell

The moon's a harsh mistress

It's hard to love her well

 

I feel out of her eyes

I feel out of her heart

I fell down on my face

I tripped and missed my part

God, I fell and fell alone

The moon's a harsh mistress

She's hard to call your own

 

The moon's a harsh mistress

The sky is made of stone

INS. i never heard that song i know Dad had alot of Judy Collins Albums but heck i was just a little guy then  so i never heard them. And to hear Joe Cocker sing this song was kinda weird but i guess the song was a popular one? So thanks for sharing this and the pic looks like Pacific Island water Huggs ~CD

CD,

 

I was reminded of this song last evening when watching a documentary about Glen Campbell's

battle with Alzheimer's.  He sang this as part of his farewell tour.      If you get a chance to

watch any of that, it is very moving. 

 

I find the song's  words and music to be especially beautiful.  In addition to the above artists, it has been recorded by Linda Ronstadt, Joan Baez, Pat Metheny, Sheila Jordan, Michael Feinstein, Albert Lee, Renee Fleming, Maureen McGovern, Josh Groban and others.

 

Webb appropriated the title from the 1966 science fiction novel The Moon Is a Harsh

Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein.

 

I love how Joe Cocker sings this song.  Raw emotion. 

Judy Collins' rendition is in the usual heavenly ease that she sings everything.

Glen Campbell has a sweetness about him when performing this - just really touching.

 

About the painting, I was drawn to the serenity in it.  If that is Pacific Island water, then

I hope I can one day visit.   

 

Enjoy your evening, my friend.

Hugs

That song is mesmerizing, just as the picture is...takes me back to my spring vacation. I went out every night to see the bright moon shining on the waves. It was magical and the world seemed so wondrous.

Ingrid

I also think it's mesmerizing

Have a listen to Jimmy Webb singing this (the orchestra sounds amazing & the video footage is

stunning)   

 

Enjoy

Hey Fluter,

 

Glen is quite a guy, and what a battle he is fighting!

It's heartbreaking.

 

I'm hoping to be near the water very soon

Can't happen soon enough, actually

 

Hope all is going well

You certainly have your hands full

Not sure when you have time to rest

 

Much love to you, Ins

INSM,

 

I HAVE WATCHED THIS SPECIAL...TALK ABOUT BRINING TEARS TO MY EYES.

HIS CHILDREN TOURED WITH HIM, AND HELPED HIM WHEN HE STUMBLED ON LYRICS.

 

GLENN HAS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITES...HE HAS A WONDERFUL VOICE...IT CARRIES SUCH MEANING.

 

IN FACT, ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS ALBUMS IS BY GLENN..."LITTLE TOY TRAINS".

 

I AM AMAZED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON FOR AS LONG AS HE DID!  HIS LONG TERM MEMORY DIDN'T FAIL HIM...DID IT.

 

ALZEHIMER'S/DEMENTIA...HOW SAD, BUT OH MY GOSH...THE MAN HAS LEFT US WITH SUCH WONDERFUL SONGS THAT WE WILL CARRY WITH US.

 

GLENN CAMPBELL

"I'M NOT GONNA MISS YOU"

 

YOU MAY NOT MISS US...WE WILL "MISS YOU" AND YOUR TALENT!

Thank you for sharing this video, Fluter

Really beautiful.

Yes, I watched his kids on stage with him during that documentary

Amazing.

Really like this Jimmy Webb rendition of Galveston. I love the humor part in the beginning

I truly enjoyed it. Gorgeous. Thanks, Ins. I taped the Glen Campbell documentary and will be watching it tonight. I am so sad about it. What a lovely man.

I had never heard "Galveston" sung slowly

This is beautiful

Gives so much depth to the song

Absolutely beautiful!
