I know this is starting to sound like a broken record, but when I was on the Great Peace March (gosh, I sound like someone’s grandpa!) I was able to visit this remarkable part of Central Park. It is dedicated to the memory of John Lennon Ono. This was a man I greatly admire, and it was sad for pretty much every one of his fans when he was murdered. Yet, Strawberry Fields is a place of hope, not grief.

The great mandela alone is reason enough to make a pilgrimage to this lovely garden area. It is a wonderful place to meet kindred souls and make new friends. If I had the chance to go there again, I’d be there right now. I’d light a candle for peace and hum “Give Peace a Chance” as I thank God for creating John Lennon Ono.
