Dark And Light


It would be John Lennon's seventy-first birthday today, had he not been murdered.

I celebrate his darkness.


I celebrate his light.



And finally- today- here and now.

    I just loved John Lennon, and Yoko too, so very much. I cried when he died. You might say yeah, everyone cried. The thing is I don't normally care when someone I don't really know dies. His ideas and his music were the greatest.

    Ellen Abbott- Perhaps we can only ask so much, you know?

    SisterDoctor- Thank YOU.

    Photocat- By our estimation.

    Rubye Jack- He gave himself to us so fully that we did know him. I love Yoko too.

    Daddy B- You did not. I love you too.

    Thank you so much for these three amazing videos/music/Iceland link. I sent him a message! I love John like you love Keith. When I was 12 it was a big deal to learn that I was born on his birthday. Every year on Oct. 9 I wear a John pin that I got out of a gum machine in 8th grade ~ it's an antique now; guess I am too!

    Love is real.

    The moment I heard the news . . .I was standing in a dorm my freshman year in college.

    Wow. I couldn't believe it. Such a gentle soul. Murdered by someone Lennon would have believed needed help. Would have had compassion for.

    Such irony.

    And George Harrison, a gentle soul, attacked by a deranged person, too.

    Peace. We never know when death is near.

    Very hard to imagine him being 71. He is now forever young in death. Sad to think about it. I remember that day well.

    I thought of him, too, but a day late.
