MERRY CHRISTMAS / JOHN LENNON / DONATION LETTER

 Jesus was not a Christian and Buddha was not a Buddhist but their religion was love. Can it really be this simple? That the ultimate religion is love ! Perhaps we all need to see what we have settled for in order to fully realize that there is another choice versus war and injustice as well as the full meaning of Lennon's Merry Christmas ( War is Over ) which was recorded in 1971~ nine years before Lennon was shot down and killed in December, 1980: Allen L Roland, Ph.D

A protest song against the Vietnam War, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" has since become a Christmas standard, frequently covered by other artists, appearing on compilation albums of seasonal music, and named in many polls as a holiday favorite. With our recent revelations about torture as well as our
continuing illegal unmanned Drone strikes that are killing scores of innocent
civilians ~ the song remains appropriate. See article:

 At the beginning of the song, two whispers can be heard. Yoko whispers: "Happy Christmas, Kyoko" (Kyoko Chan Cox is Yoko's daughter with Anthony Cox) and John whispers: "Happy Christmas, Julian" (John's son with Cynthia.

 

But this Christmas, I offer the hope of Lennon's greatest song which is a needed reminder that the hope for a better world still remains deep in all our hearts. Sing it along with John and let it be our Christmas and New Year's wish for the world. Three minute You Tube Video:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ALLEN & KEIKO

Happy Holidays to you and yours and here is a musical and artistic gift to warm your hearts this holiday season. It's Van Gogh's Starry night set to music.

Van Gogh's The Starry Night vibrates with rockets of burning yellow while glowing planets gyrate like cartwheels in the sky ~ there is cosmic movement everywhere in this painting but it is all set against a restful blue sky of inner knowing ~ an inner knowing that Van Gogh could only express through his frenzied brush strokes. But also an inner knowing that can be accessed by fully surrendering to love ~ which in Vincent's case was fully sharing his artistic gift with the world.

Don Mclean captures this inner knowing in his haunting musical composition and lyrics set to a five minute power point close up of Van Gogh's most memorable paintings ~ including Starry Night.
