Imagine...

John Lennon Memorial, Strawberry Fields, Central Park, NYC- November 2007

Today mark's what would have been John Lennon's 70th Birthday...

Imagine the differences he could have continued to make in this World if his Life hadn't been selfishly taken from him at the young age of 40. Lennon's death was felt around the Globe & although this tragedy occurred before I was born, my Heart still drops and I get body-wide goosebumps when I think about what happened and what could have been under different circumstances.

I try not to think of the man ("man") who committed this heinous act because his purpose was to become famous from his actions. He doesn't deserve an iota of thought because that's exactly what he hoped to attain-

Instead, let's remember the brilliant, musical, charismatic, peace loving and peace advocating pure Soul that Lennon was and appreciate the mark that he left on the World and in so many people's Lives; Gone but never forgotten, you are missed dearly.

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one."

"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."

"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Sounds of laughter shades of love are
Ringing through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, and calls me on and on
Across the universe"
- John Lennon
