What Joni lyrics are on your mind or have particularly touched you recently? Mine: Seabird, I have seen you fly above the pilingsI am smiling at your circles in the airI will come and sit by you while he lies sleepingFold your fleet wingsI have brought some dreams to shareA dream that you love someoneA dream that the wars are doneA dream that you tell no one but the grey seaThey'll say that you're crazyAnd a dream of a babyLike a promise to be freeChildren laughing out to seaAll his seadreams come to me ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:00:23 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: what Joni lyrics? On Sunday - Father's Day - my son popped out of bed early and said that he wanted to go to the gym and work out with me. He works long hours and typically likes to sleep in on Sundays so I was a little surprised. Anyway, we had a great workout and enjoyed a sauna and whirlpool afterwards with lots of conversation. He needed to pick up some new clothes so we stopped at Belk's on the way home and he got some stuff and then I fixed some lunch for us. He said that he thought it would be a good Father's Day gift to give me some company, and it immediately reminded me of Joni's BRILLIANT song Jericho and the line "the GIFT of your extra time". I truly felt that lyric that day.

Catherine wrote (about Vince's new state): "Enjoy your new place. Maybe it has changed since Lori was there - otherwise, maybe you'll be the one to change it. Maybe that's why you were sent there." Tres bien! I like that! (Bright as a neon light....) Yes, Vince. "Be the change you wish to see in the world" of Ohio! (TIC! We're only particles of change, I know, I know...) I hope you will be happy there. Now, I have to confess that when I first saw the subject line (Ohio) in this morning's digest, I immediately thought it was about CSNY's "Ohio". That song has been playing over and over again in my head ever since I saw the terrible horrible video of Neda dying in Iran. ("What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground? How can you run when you know?") Now, just so our Jimmy doesn't have another "sad day" on the JMDL w/ so much NJC, and if you can follow the idiomatic logic that goes on in my brain, I have a little Joni mention to share. Last night I posted a moving youtube on FB about the ongoing struggle for freedom and democracy in Iran, and accompanied it w/ some Joni lyrics. (LOL...sometimes I do, yes sometimes I do). For the benefit of Mr. Kite and those not on FB, they were from JOTMAS. Mack even popped in and we had a nice volley going (he could complete me, I'd complete him). ANYWAY, this morning my Iranian friend wrote: "Beautiful! Who's the poet?" My reply: "It's Joni Mitchell, Yass. SIQUOMB (She Is Queen Undisputedly of Mind Beauty). I *knew* you had good taste! ; ) Here is the song. The part I quoted above starts at 3:41. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMD7mcEpU6U ... Read More If you want to know more about her, just stop by!" And she replied: "My parents still have her LPs back home..." Her parents live in Iran. It's nice to imagine that they might be listening to Joni just at this moment of the world, maybe getting some comfort and consultation.
