You asked us to
"Imagine."

Many of us still do, John,
though all too often
this world of man
seems to be pointless
beyond
...imagination.

I still have hope,
I still have dreams
that one day

"the world
will live as one."


in memory of John Lennon

it is a shame that the causes worth dying for, chances are, someone already has...good to keep the hope alive, though--nice write

A lovely wish...seems so distant these days..when people blow up other people in the name of God...what a joke, my God is the God of the living last time I looked.

What is life without dreams? Unbearable, I would say. We just have to keep hoping and dreaming.

Kacy, dreams are the seeds we plant that grow into reality and flourish into more than we ever could have dreamed of in the first place.  

If/when the world will be as one, it will be partly because of all the effort you have put into it being so.

Oh Kacy what a wonderful dream to have, but sad to say I don't think it will happen in our lifetime' if ever. Still it is something that we all pray for. Fine write
my dear friend. Love to you

Sadly, I have always tried to imagine this happening one day, and will continue to wear those rose-colored glasses.

        
Happy Holidays, Love Mysteria

In sacred moments I do feel this oneness as reality. And upon this perception I build my hope, my dreams and imagination to overcome the sadness when the world seems to move backwards instead of evolving towards true unity.

Very beautiful thoughts and tribute, dear Kacy!

Love,
Margherita
