happy birthday John Lennon...

So today would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday...hard to imagine, really, what a 70-year old John Lennon would have looked like today. I suspect he wouldn't have grey'd much and would be still wearing his wonderful thin-rimmed glasses and still be smirking and shocking the cameras and media on a weekly basis with yet another wonderfully creative antic to bring attention to a world issue at hand.



He talked about a world where there were no countries, only peace..."no hell below us-above us only sky"...a world where there were no possessions nor no need for greed or hunger..only a brotherhood of man....



a world where we could all travel the globe , wherever we wanted, whenever we wanted, without a cell in our being experiencing the slightest sense of fear-only love, acceptance, tolerance, understanding and compassion....



now there is a world worth imagining....



Happy Birthday John...

we miss you...

never underestimate the power of your smile..

for in a matter a moments, you can change someone's life..



or at least make their day....
