Watching the Aurora Borealis play around IMAGINE PEACE TOWER

The Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights) are natural light displays in the sky, typically occuring in the ionosphere.

The Cree call this phenomenon the “Dance of the Spirits” and  in Europe, in the Middle Ages, the auroras were commonly believed a sign from God.

They were named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.

Auroras can be spotted throughout the world and on other planets. They are most visible closer to the poles due to the longer periods of darkness and the magnetic field.

Creo que muy aparte de felicitar a John por su septuagenario, hay que agradecer a yoko por llevar a cabo esta idea tan genial y espiritual… No cabe duda de que John estuvo tan enamorado de ti porque le maravillaron tus ideas, tus proyectos y tu positivismo. Tienes una mente brillante y y una inteligencia admirable Yoko… Has llegado muy lejos y sin duda sabremos mucho mas de ti y nos seguiras sorprendiendo
GRACIAS INFINITAS
Pero 1ero al gran musico que fue John Winston Lennon, quien inundo nuestros corazones de amor y esperanza, de suenos y y anhelos de un despertar mejor… Aquel que estuvo ahi cada vez que escuchabas sus canciones, en mi ninez, adolescencia y ciertamente en mi madurez y adultez, aunque no lo supiera estuvo ahi aconsejandome y dandome animos a traves de sus experiencias, diciendome: LIFE IS VERY SHORT AND THERE’S NO TIME FOR FORCING AND FIGHTING MY FRIEND, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE, IMAGINE, y muchas mas…
Gracias John…

Tks so much for having thought of that beautifully built light which represents us and our peaceful energy, in that place, using renewable energy, combining itself with the Aurore Boreals as another mother nature element.
Fascinating!
