Just got back from a two day workshop on assessing risk and treatment needs for sex offenders. I put on my earphones and cranked the volume up on this great song by John Denver and just as the guy in the video, my natural reaction was to raise my hands to the sky. I want to rise above, some days, and this song transports me. Maybe the fact that one has to take a position sometimes out of what is and get a broader persspective. Sometimes I feel the need to rise upward to get in touch with the universe and this is what this songs does for me. Yes it's smaltzy but it gets me emotionally every time I hear it.
I am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all of those who see me, and all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
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
