Imagine
by 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 may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday 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 may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

ps: Artist Pablo Stanley has done a wonderful job of bringing this song alive in a comic strip which might just have you grinning ear to ear.

Reflection

This week's Maitri Tunes is John Lennon's iconic song Imagine which inspires us all "to live as one", particularly as we hold news of conflicts across the world.

In difficult times, the note below from our family at Casa de Paz inspires us to go beyond our borders and embrace all life so that peace may prevail on earth.

"The image of our beautiful planet captured on the Earth Flag was captured by the Apollo 17 astronauts, looking out their back window on their way to the Moon in 1972. It was the first time our entire planet was captured in a single image -- an image which was later named "The Blue Marble". I always imagine that when earthlings saw that image for the first time, human compassion grew. Humans were so used to looking at maps etched with borders. I remember seeing the image for the first time feeling that something was "missing" and laughing with delight and recognition. From space there are no borders. Neither should there be in our collective consciousness."

Jai Jagat! :-)
