I have informed so many to your 'event' piece- war is simply a no brainer idiot's way of mimicking the 'enemy'- remember bother's and sisters'-GOD DOES NOT CHOOSE SIDES.

ki jai,meher baba-
peace is simple,and free!

Give peace a chance! 

Well, John sang this to us many many years ago, but what have we learned? People use the old methods to solve the problems, behind this are evil, revenge and pride. Are we really so simple in our thinking that we can not find any other ways to solve our problems than wars? 

What can you do? Peace is everywhere, it is in your everyday life. The way you treat other people, the way tyo deal with personal problems. You can start from your own life, to stop your personal wars in order to respect other people.

At the end we are all the same, flesh and blood, people with children, people with their relatives and friends. Why not say "no" to that kind of leadership who does not find any other way to deal with problems than wars? Are we only tin solders at those leader's play ground?

John sang, you do not know what you got till you lose it. Losing someone you love a lot is one of the most difficult thing in your personal life. Even so, people prefer to go to war, even so that there is possibility to lose one's life.

Pride is more important than your own family, your own husband or wife, your own mother or father? You are willing to let your family suffer because of wanting to be this tiny tin solder in the play ground? Is it worth it?

Of course "everybody loves you when you're six feet on the ground", John sang this too. But you are not there to feel that love? I wish we could all say to each other "grow old along with me the best is yet to be" and see our children grow and keep this world together as a good place for everyone to live. '

How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?

How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?

How can we go forward into something we're not sure of?

You know life can be long
And you got to be so strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough

For anyone else out there feeling unsure, I hope this peace event makes its way to you. Yoko, thank you for reassuring me, and I hope many others, what I've always thought was right. Peace and Love!!

Much love to you, and everyone.

We all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

I was sent the peace event via snail mail from the US.   Amen!

using the same solutions to old problems will not further our stations as human beings in this world.  we need something new.  understanding that we are all different is a beginning.  

thank you for making me more aware.

love,

i feel alone
lost a lot of friends
i feel alone
I see the injustice of this war
i feel alone
looking at the children; starving while billions of dollars are being spent on bombs
i feel alone
the raids, the hatred, the injustice in the name of security
i feel alone
because i know the truth
i would rather feel alone than be one of them

I was raised on John & Yoko, during the Vietnam war I saw the skywriting in the sky by them, I remember them saying things like "sit in a bank for peace" or "grow your hair for peace".  I love them both dearly, I wear my John peace button from I got in Liverpool daily.  I have to work, so I cannot sit in a bank. It doesn't pay the bills.

However, each day I think of Peace, and I look at the sky, I see there can be such beauty in the world, so I act especially these days with peace and understanding in my heart, my mind, & my
being.  

We are all just people here together, we cannot stop everything that is happening but we can keep asking the people at the top isn't there a better way to solve this.  Think.  But do it in peace.

Hello,

I found the "Peace Event " in Rolling Stone
magazine, the one featuring a headline that read
" 50 Cent : Mastering the Art of Violence".

I was pleasantly surprised to find this wonderful
idea!

There was also a full page ad saying "musicians
for peace", and a list of several popular musicians who were brave enough to state that they believe war on Iraq is wrong.

I immediately photo-copied the Peace Event so that I could pass it along to my friends and family. I also sent copies to several of my international pen pals. I told them that as pen pals, we were helping to achieve Peace!

May I suggest an idea? Utne Reader magazine
might be a great place to list the Peace Event.

Thank you for the wonderful ideas suggested in the Peace Event, hopefully it will spread to all corners of the globe, and change the world for the better!
                                                   
Peace
Love

Turn off the TV, screen out the war coverage.  Head outside and from whatever your vantage point, even if it is a slice of sky, watch the sun set every day.  

In rain or snow, watch the clouds move and night fall.  

Compare one day to the next and the next and feel the seasons movement as you think peace at the same time.   

Next, invite another being to share this daily ritual at least to feel its power once.  

Perhaps if one by one, each individual in the world  took this moment to think peace deeply, it would be.

Dear Yoko, 

I don't know if my words can contribute much to
resolution of the horrible situation, but it's my purest dream to do something to avoid killing. But I can't. I feel I can't and it's a pain, you know. 

I believe, we're all humans and we can't let destroy ourselves. I know war is the way to destroying. I'm afraid of it. 

I'm just 15 and I live in the country of former Soviet Union. I see that lots of people here believe in piece. You know, to feel that you are unable to do something is horrible.

I believe in you and John.

Everybody should give peace a chance. 

Thank you!! Hi!

Thanks.

It's time to listen to Give Peace A Chance. Play it loud. Play it loud enough to echo all over the world, from heart to heart. Sing along. Sing together! With one strong voice. We are all together.

Thank you Yoko for continuing to spread peace, esp. for speaking out on John's views re this war.

Peace to me is something that must start the day we women conceive our first child. 

The love and kindness and compassion and acceptance of the world that we show to them
will help them to become peaceful people. 

The world is full of hurt, angry, oppressed people who have not been heard, loved, held and helped.

Each one of us can do our part to make peace start within us and spread it out...

Well my name's Skyler and I'm a rather small town but I did what Yoko said because I believe in her and John.  They're my inspiration in life .  They make me want to try.  And since I'm planning on becoming a singer soon now I will definitely take John and Yoko along in my heart.  I did make a pen pal.

Because I am only 16 I cannot travel anywhere. But with internet it makes it easier.  I'm so excited to be apart of this.  I just want to let Yoko know I love her. Her letter meant the world to me.  Yoko you make me happy on days when I'm sad.  Plus my boyfriend plays John Lennon in the tribute band so he looks just like him and people tell me I'm his Yoko and look just like you.  I'm your mini me.  Keep up everything you do.

Imagine(Peace)P.s. John lennon said we should put peace stuff in our windows and that's just what I've done.
