Birthday thoughts 2007
On what would have been John Lennon’s 67th birthday, a poem from Yoko Ono to commemorate the unveiling of her Peace Tower in Reykjavic.

We stand on this beautiful planet enjoying
the sunrise, the sunset, the change of seasons
the oceans, the mountains, the clear sky
and the lovely towns and cities we’ve created together
We cherish the moment of peace and quiet
We cherish the moment of having fun
We cherish every moment of warmth and love
We laugh, we heal, and we embrace
With what we’ve learnt and experienced
With our wisdom and the sense of unity
We protect our world from destruction
For our hearts beat in unison
Even when we fight with one another
We breathe for life
We’ll survive
Remember: we are one
A big hug and kiss to each one of you
I feel privileged to share this time with you
Thank you for being in my life
at times as teachers, as angels, as friends
always as blessings, always with love
Without you, I would not be
Today is the beginning of our joyful lives
Let’s dance together in our hearts
and play the game of life
In love
We breathe for life
We will survive
Remember: we are love
Please make sure you join us in spirit
on the day of the unveiling of the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER.
All you have to do is visit IMAGINEPEACE.com
and send your wishes which will go directly to Reykjavik.
We will all be together on that day.
They say that if people in China all jumped at the same time,
the axis of the globe will be shifted.
Well, we are shifting the axis of the world to peace by our unity.
I love you!
Yoko Ono Lennon
