Consider imagining peace tomorrow and for many days to come.

[stellanoir]

In the edition of RS magazine that was published right after 9/11, various celebraties offerred up their immediate reactions.

I remember Yoko Ono's succinct statement. She said something to the effect of "People pray for peace but they envision war."

I just got this e-mail from her site and will post it in GD shortly:

On 9 Oct 2008, John Lennon’s birthday, Yoko Ono asks the people of Iceland
to join her and many others across the rest of the world in praying for peace
and stability.

At 8pm, as IMAGINE PEACE TOWER <http://www.imaginepeace.com/tower.html> is illuminated on the island of Viðey,
she asks everyone to join together and let the power of light and prayer
become a collective expression of the desire for peace and harmony on our
planet.


Dear Friends

Please join me not only in remembering John on October 9th
but also in spreading the message of peace. This is something
that was so important to John - the fact that we could all work
together for the positive good of our planet.
He would have loved how we are all mobilizing ourselves in
thought and in action. It's time for action and the action is peace!

with love, yoko

1. Thanks for this, Stella. Will do, & you have been missed!

I also will pass this on to my youngest son, who has recently become a John Lennon fan...he has been reading everything he can get his hands on...he'll love this.

2. Thanks for this, stella.

What better thing to imagine than peace... sigh... :)

I will definitely be doing this tonight.

:hi:

[Grateful for Hope]

3. Stella -- thank you

I missed this if you posted this earlier today.

It's after 4:00 ET (my time), but I am still "Imagining Peace".

Thank you and bless you sweet Stella.

4. Hi Stella--nice to see you

Thanks so much for this. I heard "Revolution" on the radio yesterday (and I hardly ever listen to music stations in the car anymore) and I knew it wasn't by accident.

I miss John's energy in this dimension. I'm sure he'd have a few choice words for our illustrious leaders right about now!

Imagining peace retroactively, yet all time is one... :hi:

5. It is dfinitely time to send peace vibes out.

And in a big way.

6. I LOVE that Tower!

Wow. Breath taking.

edit: I always wish he was still with us. But, the video made me feel that he is working with us from the other side.

Thanks, Stella.
