LOVING TRIBUTE TO HEATH LEDGER BY JOHANNA

Johanna has done it again. She has created a tribute for Heath Ledger that is "other worldly". This is the time of year when Heath left this earthly existence and many of us think of that day in January when he slipped into the sleep of sleeps....

HEATH LEDGER ❧❧ TONIGHT WILL BE FINE ❧❧ TEDDY THOMPSON

I am still not happy with my newest upload to youtube. You can never know how it will compress and show up on youtube, so I have some glitches that I have tried to resolve, but so far they haven't resolved. And now I don't want to lose the viewer count that I have. But, having lived with me my whole life, I know me. I won't quit trying. But in the meantime, I post the text here that is at youtube, then I post the embed for now at the large size and the small size. Eventually I will delete the large size here because it doesn't fit the blog.

EDIT to original post❧

The videos on this particular post are not public at Youtube, but unlisted. I believe I have resolved one of the glitches. The public video at Youtube, still has the glitch, but it also has a prominent placement on the day and week listings under "Heath Ledger" and a respectable viewer count.

Teddy Thompson sings Leonard Cohen's song

❧ Tonight Will Be Fine ❧

Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past.
We swore to each other then that our love would surely last.
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast,
now I am too thin and your love is too vast.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
the windows are small and the walls almost bare,
there's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me,
she's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
and she's moving her body so brave and so free.
If I've got to remember that's a fine memory.

And I know from her eyes
and I know from her smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

Text at Youtube ❧

Brokeback Mountain is banned from USA viewers for me. Therefore, I captured images from the movie to be able to include it in the tribute. Please, support musicians Leonard Cohen and Teddy Thompson.

I want to thank all the creative and hard working people who presented us with these wonderful movies, the TV series of Roar, the stories, the scripts, as well as the wonderful interviews with Heath. I didn’t include all of my favorite scenes in this one tribute and certainly not all my favorite interviews. Impossible in a short video. However, it was thoroughly rewarding to work on this labor of admiration and love. And it amuses me each time I watch this and it comes the place where Heath is in the interview where he is trying to avoid answering questions about his personal love life. (2:17 – 2:24)

Darfur and Sudan

To sign the petition to President Obama ~

The letter ❧

On January 9th, Southern Sudan will hold its independence referendum. Both North and South are preparing for war, leaving civilians at grave risk of major human rights violations.

I commend your administration for being engaged, but I hope you can do much more to help support peace in Southern Sudan and Darfur. I'm supporting you to do all you can to help avert a terrible conflict there.

Specifically, I hope you can do more in three areas:

1. Peacemaking: Intensify our support for the North/South peace process and dispatch a senior diplomat to revitalize the Darfur peace effort.

2. Protection: Focus the post-referendum UN peacekeeping mission on civilian protection, particularly in border areas where civilians are most vulnerable to conflict and rights violations.

3. Pressure: You have said there will be benefits for peace and consequences for war. These should be big enough to get the attention of the Sudanese or they won't matter.

Sincerely,

My letter is posted here

HE RODE LIFE LIKE THE WIND ~ FOREVER LOCKED IN HIS LIGHT a poem for HEATH LEDGER by SANDRA HAMMEL

One of my favorite pictures of Heath

Somewhere I have the information of the person who shot this.
But at the moment I have to get to practicing piano and singing,
so I have not the time to look it up.
Apologies to the photographer.

Sweet Bright episode of Roar

A favorite scene from a favorite episode of mine

starring a very young Heath Ledger

Uploaded by ; ) lparker0

Poem written by Sandra Hammel ~

He Didn’t Know

He was a young man with a dream

Not wanting to wait for life to pass him by

without trying that dream,

He drove off across Australia,

He rode life like the wind

and added joy to the universe,

opened hearts,

brought total strangers together

through the power of what we saw in his eyes …

On the screen, big or small,

it worked…

A slight movement of the head, a wrinkle in a look,

The way he took a woman’s hand and cocooned it in his,

The rhythm of his walk,

Creating his characters from the inside first,

trusting the outside would take care of itself.

We fell in love.

And he didn’t know.

He didn’t know the sway he had.

He didn’t perceive what he had done to us

never to be undone.

Forever locked in his light

I can only say “Thank you” and dance like Heath did.

That is what I can do.

To pass on what he gave to me.

Here is what I know ~

The power of the shared need to feel connected to our own souls

and reaching out to the big Soul of the Universe ~

Heath was and continues to be a catalyst for this connection,

for what is good.

He embodied the spirit that we all share.

And I am so grateful

to have been here while he was here in body.

But I also know this ~

His spirit is alive.

It is alive in me.

And it is alive in you.

I talk to him,

I sing for him,

I sing for me, too.

I dance the dance of life

And I know that is what Heath did so well,

DaNcE LIFE

And what continues to make me want to feel him,

To be connected to him

Is that I feel more me,

more alive,

more hopeful

about who we are.

And what we can do.

Now.

Today.

Every day, Heath ~ Thank you.

~

Dedicated to my friend Johanna

and inspired by Tina's video Heath ~ I Hope You Dance
