Because of the war begun in Iran last weekend, I am going to focus on Peace as the topic. I am always against war, no matter who the U.S. president is at the time. This time is no exception. There has to be a better way to resolve conflicts than killing, often innocent families. I was too young to protest about the Vietnam war, though my mother did. I was very inspired and heartened when Minnesotans when out in freezing cold day after day to protest ICE occupation. I witness that the protesters do make a difference.
 
Yesterday, at the Center for Spiritual Living that I attend, it was my turn to be the Pulpit Practitioner. As part of what I presented, I read the song lyrics of ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon, which I have posted below. The topic for the CSLs this week was about Collective Imagination. I chose it before I even knew about the bombing of Iran. And it became sadly even more timely to share it by the end of the week. Whenever I hear the song, I always get tears in my eyes and I did when I recited it to the congregation.
