Strawberry Fields Forever....

On my way to seeing my magnificent Bethesda Fountain...we came across something I didn't expect to see.  Below is The Dakota.  These are the apartments where John Lennon lived and where he was shot to death on December 8, 1980.  


After entering the park at Central Park West and 72nd...there is a sign greeting you to Strawberry Fields.



You walk through the beautiful path of gorgeous trees and tulips...where you end up at the IMAGINE memorial in dedication to John Lennon






It was a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this site where an acoustic band was playing Lennon and Beatles songs while people were laying roses down one by one.  I was incredibly moved being witness to this and thinking about the impact it has on so many.

I may not agree with what Lennon said about christianity but I do agree with his thoughts on love and peace.

"Give peace a chance...cause all we need is love"  John Lennon


Do something nice for someone today, tomorrow and every day for the rest of your life.  Let someone pass you on the road, go in front of you in line at the grocery store or just smile at a stranger on the street.  It will make a difference in their life and in yours.

God Bless You!
