Today would have been the 72nd birthday of the beautiful John Winston Lennon. I wonder what he would think if he was here today. I remember when they announced he died and my mom laying down on the couch and crying herself to sleep. I didnt understand why she was so upset. Years later I do. We always had Beatles Sunday growing up in my house for as long as I can remember and to honor him, I still do. 30 years after his death and I still have Beatles sunday, which usually consists of cooking and playing John Lennon/Paul McCartney/Beatles music for a good part of the day. What a tragedy and loss in our ever failing society.
In trying to always stay positive I would like to think he would be proud of what is happening with people trying so hard to regain connection with each other, but the realist in me thinks how heartbroken and pained he would be by seeing how much weve distanced ourselves from one another in the first place. The world is such a different place now. It was changing back then too, but i wonder if he ever imagined we would go this far down. It makes me sad for humanity. Sad for all that we can accomplish and all that we have in our hearts and souls, yet our inability to live by it. I struggle most days to pinpoint where it all changed. Probably before I was born, I always feel out of place because of that. Like im trapped in this other place. Im sure im not the only one that feels this way. Being a healer, I know why Im here and I know why humanity is spinning out of control. Its all part of rebirth. People must loose everything because we have forgotten what true love is. Love for each other. We forgot that the most important possession to have is not a physical possession at all. Its to understand and possess whats in your heart and soul. Accepting each other. Why do we feel like we need to impress each other by changing what we are. Why cant we just "be"? Some may think I feel this way because Im not one of "the beautiful ones" and thats true. Not being part of current societies view and ideals of what "beautiful" is has always made me dig deeper. It immersed me into a world of not seeing that vanity. It gave me the opportunity to "see" people. not just view them. The positive part of all of that is that I have been so lucky to meet the real beautiful people afterall! Through some sort of divine intervention that I still dont understand how it happens that way, I always meet and come into contact with the most beautiful souls. Today I am grateful for that and will continue to Imagine all the people. Thank You John Lennon for everything you are. still~
