John Lennon brings me back

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” 
― John Lennon  

Okay guys i know I've been seriously abusing my log recently and not writing anything...but i really have had a lot going on..alot of the time, and then I've also been sick so I've not had time to sit down an get to write...but this...literally forced me to get on here...  
Well i was just watching the closing ceremony for the London 2012 olympics and i can honestly say I've never seen anything more amazing in my life than what the John Lennon tribute was...i would describe it but considering that by now the whole world has prob seen it i don't see the point.  
But wow...London thank you thank you for bring my hero back from the dead for a night, thank you for giving him a chance to get his message of hope and love across the oceans and to all the different countries...i think he's look down right now crying with tears of joy. I was sitting trying so hard not to cry watching that play across my screen and i didn't even manage to control my heart for a second...The song Imagine is very special to me and sums up a lot of what has happened in my life...it also sums up who i am today and what i want for this world...recently I've been falling back, because I realised there was 'no hope' for this world and all humans will do is distory it and each other...seeing a group of people singing that song all together, whilst having it played out to the world also in sign language well it got me big time... tomorrow I'm going back to my hippie look that i so miss... I've realised there is hope there is always hope...and I'm not going to give up on this world yet...well never actually. One day, if we keep performing like this, i believe the world really will live as one. 

Why does it matter if your black, white, asian, mixed race, straight, lesbian, transgender, gay or bi? why does it matter if your hindu, mormon or whatever religion you are....why should people care if someone wears glasses, or likes tattoos and piercings...or likes to cut their hair differently to others....why is standing out so wrong and why must people be punished...what i saw tonight has given me a reason to keep on believing that one day every heart beating on this planet will come together in realising they all beat for the same reason, breathe the same oxygen and live under the same sky...and that they are meant to be together...not at war all the time...  
Please anyone who is reading this...really think about it...we are one..we just need to see that. I mean the Olympics for a start...look what we can do when we stand together. 
There is no limit to what we can change.
