Ever wanted a window onto John's world? Here's your chance! The company that makes this item (click the link to visit) describes it in poetic terms used by the bard himself:
"Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops, Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars, And reach for the heavens and hope for the future, And all that we can be and not what we are." These words from John Denver, in his 1972 release "The Eagle and the Hawk", are a poignant reminder of his profound love of nature and its connection to our lives. As we struggle to understand this deeper meaning, it may be as simple as taking the time to watch the majestic flight of a hawk that ultimately exposes the truth to us all.

The site linked here (it's been visited by just over 4,000 people since 2002!) says the image has the blessing of the John Denver Estate and Windstar Productions. Is it lovelier if it's authorized?
