Say I'm A Dreamer

       I want you to go to a quiet place for a while and, if you can, allow your mind to be opened.  Place your right hand over your heart and feel it beating.  Concentrate on slowing the rise and fall of your chest to a steady rhythm.  I want you to imagine that you are releasing all of the tension and stress and pain in your body with each expiration.  With every inhalation imagine that you are breathing in love and light and peace.  When a small smile tugs at the corners of your lips, then we are ready to begin.  Now I want you to imagine that you are sitting on the ground looking at the world around you.  There are no buildings or houses or cars, only other people sitting in their own spot on the earth doing the same thing that you are doing.  No one has any place to be or any judgement to make or anything to sell you.  We are all the same, sitting in the grass across the entire surface of the green planet, holding our hearts and smiling at each other.  You just felt world peace.  You just saw a society where there is nothing to fight for and nothing to hate for.  Everyone was happy within themselves and happy that you were happy within yourself.  Do you know why the human race will never accomplish this?  I do, but for this one moment I will allow myself to feel at peace and continue to imagine a world in harmony.

Imagine there's no heaven (It's easy if you try)

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries (It isn't hard to do)

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people living life in peace

Imagine no possessions (I wonder if you can)

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE SHARING ALL THE WORLD

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

       I invite you to stay in this utopia for as long as your busy life will allow you to, and once gone I encourage you to vacation often.  Even if only for a moment, to live life with our fellow creatures in peace and love.  Sarah Howle revisits us to share her ghostly rendition of John Lennon's vision.
