John a Peace Maker

John Lennon was all about peace, love and hope. Like Ghandi and Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, he wanted people to get along, to love each other. His death was the ultimate betrayal of his life. But in another way, it reminded us of the futility of murder. Of the horror of it, of the senselessness and the sadness. I picture him planning his life prior to his arrival. He agreed to this horrible death knowing it would help the world. Reiterating everything he taught in his songs. That we need a Yellow Submarine, that the world is full of happy people. That we need love, sweet love. In his death he was also teaching us. Forever teaching us. Thank you John.

"All we are saying, is give peace a chance." The words ring prophetic, don't they. Thanks for the look back and the tribute, Caren. :) gw
