My back and right hip are killing me today, so it's nice to feel someone thinks one is 'beautiful' as you age. Everything comes and goes, indeed. I have seen the Johnny Cash video of 'Hurt' and it is brilliant. I was deeply moved seeing a piece with Roseanne Cash talking about it and about her Father. Spoke volumes about everything. As for Joni last Autumn, the memory of that meeting with her is described beautifully by you as 'timeless essence'. I have a feeling that, had met Joni in 1970, when I first saw her, that essence may have been less apparent to me. I certainly was too young, idealistic and naive to have received it, Anita x On 15/04/2013, Laura Stanley wrote: > Hi Anita, > > Beautiful post. And you and Steph are beautiful as you age.

Sounds like I was not alone in flinching and having buttons pushed. My buttons get pushed about things I struggle and I struggled with your choice of the word 'sad' simply because there is some truth in it. Watching my Mum age was the saddest and I hear you saying how hard it for you to see Joni in these photos. Thanks for clarifying your feelings a bit more and I think you might also mean 'mortality' rather than 'immortality'. LOL! That's how hard it is! Anita On 14 Apr 2013, at 23:22, Mary Morris wrote: > I did not mean to push so many, as others have e-mailed me. Perhaps sad is the wrong word...or the wrong feeling I was trying to get it. Sad, because the passing of time is inevitable, not sad just because you are old. It was just kind of shocking to see her look a little old & perhaps frail. Others have remarked that in the first picture of her that she looks like she's grieving, etc. I don't subscribe to any of that. I think the camera just caught a realistic moment & I applaud her for letting that photo go out. Seeing her old just reminded me of my own immortality & how little I've really accomplished & wonder if I've made a difference to anyone or anything at all. I like the age on her.....but I hold her up on some impossible pedestal & am shocked to see her looking older than her years: does that mean her health is at stake ? Polio ? That damn smoking ? I don't wish her any ill will, or anyone for that matter. I would love, however, to hear some new music. Hear her vitality. Not all of us are so lucky as to see her paintings. We can all listen to her music, however. She is & remains a goddess to me, but human, too. I would love it if she performed live somewhere. I would try, hell or high water, to get one of those tickets. > > > GREETINGS FROM THE TRIPLE M Down a gravel road, where the barb wire meets the sky. MARY M.

And you and Steph are beautiful as you age. So is Joni. Coming to realize life as a bell curve is not easy for me... "Everything comes and goes..." "Briefer than a falling star..." "Sweet bird of time and change..." When I saw Joni last Fall, my first thought was wow she is an old woman. Then when I met her it was an experience of her timeless essence. I see life as a story we tell all along and especially when we are old if we are able. We have a hand in writing our own story. Have you heard Johnny Cash's song "Hurt"? I hated this song at first because it just didn't seem like him. Now I admire him for showing himself as a weak old man to the world. The song is him being himself more than he was when he was all wrapped up in his empire of the music business. I love the scenes of his little house in Dyess, Arkansas. There is something powerful in him looking thru the window of the house into his childhood. The blink of an eye... I find the song encouraging.
