I often think of this John Lennon song, “Imagine”. It encapsulates for me the dream and the possibility of each human being on this planet finding good health, adequate shelter/food/water, safety in one’s home/country/life, safe havens for all, peaceful resolutions of grievances, and a world where we treat each other and mother earth and all it’s life forms and beauty with care and respect and dignity.
Perhaps this song will encapsulate that for you as well. And perhaps we can all imagine new ways that we can each help to bring about quality of life and peace on earth for all.

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin’ 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
Livin’ 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
John Lennon – Release in U.S. 1971
