If you're unfamiliar with my life's mantra, perhaps you’d recognize it if I were instead to say "la vida es un carnaval, es más bello vivir cantando."

"Let's start with the new poetry book, "Sometimes It's Heaven: Poems of Love, Loss and Redemption," laughed a fabulous sounding Judy Collins. "The new album I'm doing is an album of duets and there are some wonderful features, one of which is a song of David Crosby's called, "Radio" which is a duet with me and Graham (Nash) on a song of David Crosby's. That's one of our starters and then we're doing "Dreamers" as a big choral piece and Michael McDonald songs with me and so on; it's going to be out probably sometime in April. My book of poetry which is called, "Sometimes It's Heaven" is coming out on March 28 and it's a book of 100 poems that I wrote at the behest of my husband a few years ago and they formed this poetry book."

Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.
