October 9th, John Lennon would have been 67 years old. To honor his
memory, Yoko Ono was chosen to continue a project that John envisioned
in 1967. Yoko will be launching a light tower or IMAGINE PEACE TOWER
in Iceland. This will be a permanent landmark of peace. The tower is
a beam of light emanating from a giant wishing well, which features
the words 'imagine peace' in 24 languages.It will be lit every year
from October 9 (Lennon's birthday) to December 8 - the anniversary of
his death. Over half a million wishes from all over the world will be
put in a series of capsules and placed on the island surrounding
Imagine Peace Tower.People can continue to send their peace wishes via
the Imaginepeace.com site. Messages can also be sent to: Imagine Peace
Tower, P.O. Box 1009, 121 Reykjavik, Iceland. The tower was built in
Iceland because "it is a very eco-friendly country that relies on
geothermal energy", said Ono. She plans to bury every wish in capsules
around the tower, so that the open space will turn into a forest.In a
statement she said: "On October 9th I hope that the world will pause
for a time and imagine peace. I am unveiling the Peace Tower in memory
of John.
"I am thrilled to do it in Iceland, a unique and beautiful country in
which 80 per cent of the energy is provided by water, not oil. The
air, water and earth are surprisingly pure and clean, as a result. "I
hope that the light from the tower will shine, not just physically on
those present at the unveiling, but will be beamed across the world so
that the message of peace will be delivered to all people. IMAGINE
PEACE!"

And an open door is to me now like the saddest of goodbyes
It's too late for turning back, I pray for the heart and the nerve
And I rely upon the moon, I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopherver mary chapin carpenter
