There is nothing about it that is not beautiful, there is nothing about it that is not mystical, epic, actualized, fully realized, completely unknown. I believe that this song has divinity. I believe that there is a soul inside of it. The more I have listened to it over time, through the years...the more it has become for me, the very essence of Joni Mitchell." Sally, I love what you say here about Sweet a Bird! The song captured me the first time I heard it. It was prescribed for me by a New Jersey boy with Arkansas connections before I heard it, and he was right on! Click! Joni is on some borderline now getting out of the hospital. She is in my thoughts and prayers!!! My thoughts on the song Sweet Bird are she could have been laying on the beach, a borderline between earth and sky and sea and land, when it came to her. She laid down golden tan all lotion end up, thinking about time in the sun and life in general and fell asleep then woke up vanishing like one feels when they sit up and feel a little light-headed making things look fuzzy after falling asleep in the sun. It is mystical for sure and a beautiful admission of guessing. I just realized how much thought on Joni and the meaning of her songs is speculation, guessing... all of it except what we know from her interviews like Malka's book, In Her Own Words.

"Bouquet" I like your idea of a concrete, long lasting action like planting trees or protecting a wetland in Joni's honor!! How about somewhere in Canada? Near the Sunshine Coast, Toronto, or Saskatoon? Or near LA? Somewhere Joni frequents that is dear to her? Or somewhere else with great need? How? Also what about doing a smaller, more immediate, wider-spread environmental action like each of us on the same day send a rose and a note to our local governors and/or mayors bringing a specific local environmental need to their attention on behalf of Joni Mitchell? For the Roses? Ideas? Thoughts?
