IMAGINE

Have we lost the ability to dream?  To seek out after something that we want.  Be it spiritual yearnings, physical or emotional wants, a sense of true community within the world.  How many times do we forget those simple thoughts and desires of childhood?  What if the world could be more of what we've seen in our heads and hearts?  

So the song was written...  I've always loved it, and I see that more and more I'm willing to let go of the social constructs, the hardwired notions that there is only one 'right' way.  Hey PEOPLE!  Just let go a little and imagine the world in a different way.  Change comes through the eyes of a dreamer and the sweat off the brow of those who are willing to take those dreams and work hard for them.

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

I am a dreamer.  I find that my dreams are just starting to be realized.  I'm hopeful.  I'm smiling!

Imagine...
