In memory John Lennon.๐ฏ๏ธ Past present reflections
Wow Many of us remember that day.
Most of the world and people felt the shock grief and loss.
I was making lunch for my toddler's in Oakland CA. Listening to music on my radio ๐ถ until the news came on. "Oh my God nooo" The words came out like a wolf's howl.
I couldn't hide my tears from my babies,as the older one asked "Mommy what's wrong? Why you sad?"
Calming my heartbroken self. Trying to explain simply,To my child what was a mountain ๐๏ธ of sorrow now.
After my years of listening to the Beatles. Memories of " The Beatles are coming" printed on handouts,posted all over Brooklyn on telephone poles and such.
Seeing them on Ed Sullivan "falling in love" with the drums and Ringo.
And family memories of those years good and bad.
The day he died.
Feeling like a loved one had just been murdered.
And wondering what kind of world were we living in. What kind of place for my kids to grow up in.
Flash forward.
Yet we have his memory in the music and words.
And in many others taken away way too soon.
Still carrying on from his life,
love,
Light he shared from his own experiences with darkness and loss.
I look back to that time,and can't believe how much hate has grown in those years.
Yet how much light pushes against principalities and illusion.
Some of us still doing what can to grow a better place to live in.
My actions and words are my seed's.
