Something was feeling a tiny bit uncomforatble as I sat down to read… then I got back up again – because I had forgotten to write today’s post! This is why this post is a bit about everything and also nothing at all.
‘Art is my life and my life is art’ Yoko Ono
I would like to talk about the woman who truly changed the whole society. If you’ve not heard of Yoko Ono, she is a multi-media artist (when I say multi-media I literally mean art on all things from bins to bodies) who became known worldwide in the 1960’s when she married the Beatles frontman John Lennon.
Born in Tokyo, 1933, she began her artistic pursuits in New York City. She met John in November of 1966 and later married him in 1969. But if she was reading this, I’m sure she wouldn’t want me ranting about her but more the message the Lennon’s shared: Peace.
I went to Liverpool for a second time last Saturday (I have a full post about the amazing day out here). Towards the end of the day I went to look at the ‘John and Yoko’ exhibition. My dad did take a great many photos but I was so absorbed in all that I was looking at. It made me think very deeply about life, about how society has changed and where we would be if the 1960’s never exsisted. But I sort of know that answer, we’d be nowhere.
Listening to ‘Imagine’ as I write this xo
My greatest respect to all of who knew John Lennon as I speak about his death. If that hadn’t of happened I’m sure the different ways their stories changed the world would have a different effect.
Just looking through Google as I look at his memorable moments and her great message I feel so… equal. These sort of things don’t make me think of people who have done wrong but about how it has influenced right.
‘Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise’ Peter Capaldi
No one can ever be perfect. I just read a book about ‘The Unpredictability of Being Human’ and it just emphasises the imperfectness of all our society and everything that surrounds us. No one can be perfect, we try and fail.

I just put on Imagine… let me cry and I hope you can all learn to be at peace with eachother one day:
‘And the world will live as one’ – rest in peace John Lennon.

Imagine is one of my favourite songs and I listen to it all the time. It’s so relatable to this day and honestly we all really just need to be more positive and loving instead of spreading all this hate towards one another.

I thank you very much for looking through my posts. I must binge read some bloggers some time! I don’t know if you’ve watched Paul McCartneys Carpool Kareoke but in that James Corden speaks about how The Beatles songs are always relevant and how now more than ever.
Thank you for your thoughts! Imagine is one of mine too, but it does often make me feel like a little kid again – because my teachers in primary school would listen to The Beatles all the time xx
