On this anniversary of the day John Lennon was taken from the world take a moment to.... Imagine.
Imagine being able to rewind time to 10:45 p.m. December 8, 1980.
Imagine the opportunity to delay either John Lennon or Mark David Chapman by just a few minutes so that they wouldn't meet in front of the Dakota in Manhattan.
Imagine John Lennon being with us today. Imagine his impact on music.
John spent much of his time trying to get us to understand that love and peace are of paramount importance.
I can't help but wonder if he would want us to love Mark David Chapman - to find peace within ourselves for Mark taking a life from us. Offering love and peace to John Lennon's killer would be a challenge for any of us I expect. But that would be in keeping with John's expectations - that we challenge ourselves daily to love unconditionally and give peace a chance.
.....And the world would be a better place.
Imagine all of us achieving what John strove to teach us.
