    1. Thanks. Yes, John Lennon was a force for good and I agree with you.

      “You may say I am a dreamer but I know I’m not the only one. I hope some day you’ll join us and the world will live as one.” - yes imagine a world where the world lives as one, where we work together, not polls apart, and where we aspire to do only good, and where peace and harmony resides.

      Sadly, the world is a long way off that dream.

    2. This John Lennon quote reminds me that we're travelers in our dreams, searching for answers to the problems of existence. In this dream, how the world can live as one.

      I hope I dream tonight and give you answers in the morning.

      1. Thanks Tim. Yes, it's amazing how song interpretation works and I think you have a point.

        John Lennon was very much aware of how he wanted the world to be. He dreamed and wrote a song about that world where we could all work together and be as one.

        A beautiful thought, one that is still achievable.
