Two days ago on Sept. 21st, it was the "International Day of Peace" and Bing.com search had this image for its home page: 

Strawberry Fields in Central Park, New York
Beatles' song "Strawberry Fields Forever" is the inspiration behind this place that was dedicated to John Lennon. Lennon along with his wife Yoko Ono were frequent visitors to this area in Central Park .




I randomly turned on the radio last night in the car and "Imagine" immediately started playing on the radio.  The words really resonated with me...Here are the lyrics and song on youtube:



Imagine - John Lennon

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
You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

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, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

I came across this youtube video of Anastasia Volochkova dancing to Adiemus and thought it was mesmerizing.  Enjoy.
