Dear Friends,
On Sunday, I was in Reykjavík with our son Sean to relight IMAGINE PEACE TOWER, and celebrate his and John's birthday -- October the 9th.
In a boat big enough for Sean and me and all our friends who came all the way from New York, Liverpool and Tokyo, we slowly sailed our way across the moonlit waters of Kollafjörður Bay, to the island of Viðey to join over a thousand Icelanders and visitors from all over the world who had also travelled across the bay to be there on this special night.
It was such a beautiful evening, with the choir singing IMAGINE in Icelandic.
We all made a wish as the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER lit up to begin its lighting cycle for October 9th to December 8th.
The strangely big, silver moon was shining high in the sky.
And the famous but very rarely seen Northern Lights came out behind the Tower as the waves of the water reflected all the lights in Reykjavik harbour.
We all sang along with John to IMAGINE and GIVE PEACE A CHANCE as IMAGINE PEACE TOWER burst into the sky, all the way up to the end of the curve in the sky at the very top.
This happened in all of the three previous years we have done this ceremony.
To see the strong light hit the top of the sky always touches our hearts in a very special way.
It's a great thing to witness.
No wonder so many people put it in their calendar to come to Reykjavik, even a year before the ceremony!
After the ceremony, at the birthday dinner for Sean, I noticed something wonderful.
All the people had shining eyes.
Looking wide-eyed and romantic like they were very, very young.
I know it sounds crazy, but that is the only way I could describe it.
I think the incredible amount of prayers coming to us from all over the World gave us a boost which created a very beautiful change in us all.
So what was happening?
I think we all knew.
We were seeing the power of people of the World, all wishing to bring World Peace, strongly focussing their thoughts that night to IMAGINE PEACE TOWER.
We were shown that when World Peace comes, we will all be young, shining and feeling good -- like the people of a very special village called the Planet Earth.
And we'll surprise the visitors from other planets!
"What's the secret?" they will ask.
All wars are over on our planet! That's what.
I think we, Earthlings are lucky people. We have the power to change the world.
I love you!
