What if? What if in this breaking world; and don't tell me it isn't breaking! Look at it, look at us! We're breaking each other apart with our desperate yearn of happiness through money. Crying our lack of a warm lap through power and wars. Needing a kiss to close our eyes to sleep, through claiming this and that religion is the only way. We're killing our sisters and brothers and our children in our fear of being alive, killing for the stimulant of living which we think is being alive. Oh but it isn't, no, it isn't a true living. The happiest moment is what it was meant to be, half silent and slow like a hand reaching for another hand for the very first time. The spacious expansion in the eyes of the two in love. The tender strings and a whisper of the wind. And the childish, joyful play through the cultures, taking your bag and seeking unknown, adding all the different elements of all the races onto you. Not blowing them away. That is our task and it is an easy one. Or do you hear any child whining he have to play? Do you see anyone in sorrow for being happy and in joy? That is our lead, so simple and geometric, yet creative. And that is what we dare not to believe! We dig our graves by digging the decimals of a simple count. Dissect a simple form of beauty to thousand pieces. All for nothing! All that effort for a handful of broken pieces. What if we stop all that right now? What if you sitting there take yourself up, up, up, until with the eyes of your soul you can see this planet from above. Hover gently in safe above this grate majestic blue looking down, the sides of it, the space around like a warm safe lap or the arms of your father and mother. Feel that you can breathe at ease at last for a long long time. Take it with you and slowly come back. What if you now start living? What if? written by Mr. Kimmo Seppänen Finland mimushka@welho.com
This is still the
most beautiful song in the world!
Dear Yoko,
Every night, I and
my husband, we tend a candle in order to think
over those people in the war and its innocent
victims.
Thank you Yoko

Thank you, Yoko, for
your inspiration. I feel less despair
knowing there is positive and peaceful energy in
the universe and humanity.
I am the event
producer of the Solano Avenue Stroll which will
take place on Sunday, September 14, 2003.
This one-day event, now in its 29th year, is the
East Bay's oldest and largest street festival,
drawing over 300,000 people from the region. One of my
long-lasting memories to this day, while I was
growing up that still haunts my whole being, is
seeing the front page of my local newspaper here
in Philadelphia before leaving for school. It had
John Lennon's photo and next to it in big, bold
letters that said, "AND I THOUGHT PEACE WOULD
CHANGE THE WORLD."
I see the news
reports of peace demonstrations all over the
country. Often it is "Give Peace a
Chance" that the assembled protesters are
singing. I always think, "My God, what a
legacy to have left behind". I wonder what
John would say about all this. I need only look to
Yoko to learn, as he trusted her as his partner in
voice and she has taken such great care to
preserve, honor, and promote his/their legacy
(some widows of famous men do tell-all interviews
on E! or VH1... but only one has the style to rent
a giant billboard in Times Square that reads:
Imagine all the people living life in peace).
We have marched
for peace and we have marched for love.
Hi, Dear All, Thanks again and again
John and Yoko - going toward life with courage and magic.
This idea came through to me in the 60's and has
shaped my choices ever since. alright!
I can't support war. War is the worst
human vicious. Let's pray for this
nightmare to end soon.
Everybody's
talking about shock and awe, might is right, oil,
oil, oil oh yeah
This
is Dennis Berube down here in the state of VA, in
the USA, and I have a sailboat, that I
was going to fly my American flag upside down on, to
protest the war now being waged. So
wrote the idea to a sailing site, on line for any
sailors who might like to join in with this
idea! Damn, I was censored! They pulled it and would not run
it! Man what happened to freedom of
speech. I told them I would not be
visiting their site again!
Don't
be afraid to be afraid...
While
bombs rain down on Baghdad,
Thank you for this
event. This is a very sad time for America
and the world. We, in America, are fighting
for our dignity. With every bomb that falls,
every word of hate, every child who cries out in
pain or fear, we lose a piece of ourselves.
We will only feel whole when we can INSTIGATE
PEACE.
Today
I rode around Times Square in the rain for a good
two hours.
I painted a vertical sign for the back of my
bike that reads, in blue, PEACE.
