THE POWER OF WORDS
Your words will run around forever to reverberate in the ocean of the world like a pebble you dropped in the water.
Let’s believe in that power – the large power that could move the mountain and the ocean. yes.

“They cannot move to a healthier place to raise their families because the value of their house plummeted when the water went bad — and they cannot afford to relocate. They have to open their windows when they run the water to prevent methane gas from building up and risk explosion. It is a terrible fate, and there is no way to reverse what has happened to them. And it is outrageous that the gas companies accuse these honorable, defenseless people of lying — we saw the brown smelly water ourselves in homes right next to fracking sites. The fact that the water was nasty brown around their houses really scared me.”

Dear Yoko,
I shed no tears for John because what was best in him lives in you.
Your time is now, the world needs you now.
We need your voice.
Please step forward into the light.
John will not let you fall.
Peace can be realized now.
Best Wishes,
Christopher

strange. it is easier, better, more beautiful to say peace in English than in my language, Swedish.
as a writer, I try to get around this problem.
Each and every one of us holds tremendous power to make a difference for the good…through our words and in our actions…imagine…a scale with a balance of feathers on each side…how many does it take to tip the scale? Only ONE. The power of ONE. See The Marketing of Peace Project at Victor-Hugo gallery.com
I cry for you Dear Yoko. You are my sunshine. I love you ♥
Yes, my little pebble is ready to make a wave. May 2011 be the year of the pebble. Every smile is a pebble. Yes I’m part of the dreamers, and proud of it!!
Happy new year Yoko! Love, Guy

I love you lots 小野 洋子
I wish you one of the greatest year
Thanks SO MUCH
Got new wrinkles on my forehead
On my quest through the net
To try and reach you
We expect Alejandro J. in Montreal in about a hundred days… Wondering if both of you were still in touch… mais je m’en fous un peu: je voulais seulement te dire comme je t’aime de toute façon!
Even our thoughts have the power to move oceans when mind, body and spirit are connected. The saying: “Be careful what you wish for”, is valid because all thought is energy and when we write it down we give it power. “Yes” is very powerful, it’s compete, it acts without other words and in many situations it gives – hopefully something wonderful to illuminate the collective spirit of humanity.
Yes, words can change …moleculars structures. Word is an energy,is a sound,is the articulation of thought- and thoughts are very powerful.
It’s great when we use words in order to counteract negative communication.
” Out of the the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”
Your words still warm my heart!
Happy New Year ( but all life is a chance…), Yoko! To you and yours!
With love from Poland Anna
Dear Anna, we are sisters. yoko

Thanks, Yoko. You are beautiful and inspiring! Much love.
Say it like it is and it’s as coool as it gets. Go with the flow no matter which way it goes. Hang in, hang out, chill out, know your whereabouts.
Be aware, be prepared, and just be.
To Yoko and everyone:
Have a ☺cheerful and ☮peaceful year.
Happy New Year 2011
✌☺
It is time to choose the words that create peace…choose the actions that create peace…choose the thoughts that create peace.
Perfect.
In honor of John’s 70th birthday I got a peace sign tattoo on my left ankle.
We were robbed of all John would have said and done to make the world a better place, and the loss of his music is incalculable.
Yoko, I think the Imagine Piece Tower is a wonderful tribute to a beautiful man.
Words are very powerful!
Imagine peace for all, forever!
Let’s get the power of words back into the hands of our children! Read to your children each day and the result will be a shining light leading the way through all the doors that will then be opened for them.
