[Good Dog Nigel]

Dear Friends

On October 9th, IMAGINE PEACE TOWER will be relit in Reykjavík, Iceland, in memory of my late husband John Lennon, on the occasion of his birthday.

I hope you will join us in celebrating the relighting of IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in Iceland, live on imaginepeacetower.com and around the world.

Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world.
Power works in mysterious ways. We don’t have to do much.
Visualize the domino effect and just start thinking PEACE.

Thoughts are infectious. Send it out. The message will circulate faster than you think.

It’s Time for Action.
The Action is PEACE
Think PEACE, Act PEACE, Spread PEACE

PEACE is POWER!

Thank you, thank you, thank you
I love you!

Yoko Ono Lennon
