Imagine

 “Imagine…”

What an incredible word…

Form a mental image of something that is not present or that is not the case;
“Can you conceive of him as the president?” (You mean Bush!?)
Think: expect, believe, or suppose… wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

There is nothing more powerful than the human imagination when its owner is free to create and be happy. When we sing and dance and play, we humans are miraculous beings; full of love and laughter and joy.

In 1971 John Lennon challenged the whole world to “Imagine” a place without war or violence because of politics and religion, to imagine a happy place, a peaceful place, a place of love and light and community. Many scoffed when they heard John’s “fantasy” song about a world that could “never exist” this side of “heaven” or “Utopia” “Nirvana”. But some heard his challenge and held the dream in their hearts and now John’s vision is coming to fruition.

All over the planet people are reaching out to their neighbors and taking the time to hear their words and understand their hearts. When this happens a beautiful thing begins…peace. Yeah it is just that simple. All you have to do is put down the weapons step away from the emotional baggage and use the creative genius you posses to create a world that everyone can co-exist in.
