Imagine...

I sent this to a friend earlier, but it captures the way I feel this sweltering sunday evening-

I'm listening to the Beatles after a few week hiatus and I'm just so thankful for them. In this time of religious conflict and unfettered hate, I'm happy to find hopeful (if not also tearful) solace in the poetry of John Lennon's "Imagine".

Don't take "in this time" to indicate the naive conception of a recently synthesized struggle, but rather, a long cultural memory ingrained in my being - in the immortal words of Pete Townsend, "Meet the new boss... same as the old boss!"
