Moffat and I are enjoying a beautiful morning in my favorite outdoor space with the wonderful orange glow of the fall leaves as an inspiration for writing. The leaves are finally changing in the city, but the mountains of Colorado were in their full glory almost a month ago. As you may have noticed, Moffat has many wonderful friends that take him galavanting on incredibly diverse adventures. Today, I thought I would share some behind-the-scenes fun with two of Moffat's good friends, Candy and Erica, as they enjoyed their annual camping trip up to Maroon Bells. It has been weeks since I have posted. Blame it on the start of school and my brain being on overload. I think about it daily, but never get there. Interestingly, I joined my husband for a documentary this evening and it happened to be on John Denver. I have always loved John's songs with the stories he told and the melodies he carried on his guitar. I also remember how he tragically died at an early age in an airplane crash. As the documentary progressed, the date of his death came up and the anniversary happens to be today. He died in 1997 at the age of 53. Several years ago, I remember walking along the beautiful, foggy beaches of Monterey, California. I can remember how shocked I was when my family and I came across a marker on a rock commemorating the sudden loss of John Denver. I don't recall that I knew where he had died until our morning walk. As a Colorado native, his songs are calling card to the beauty of our state. He was a long time resident of Aspen, Colorado, long before it ever became the ski town it is today. Each time I hear one of his songs, I remember how much I enjoy his music. As I watched the documentary, I learned more about his interest in both space and NASA and the oceans with his time spent with Jacque Cousteau. I am surprised that this commemorative rock is in my collection. It is an obscure location, but one worth remembering. My own personal travel lesson is to always be open to where the day might take you. There are surprises around every corner and many are worth reflecting upon! |
