Song Challenge (Music That Means Something) Day 3 Imagine – John Lennon

A thank you goes out to fellow blogger and friend, Lisa, for nominating me for this fun challenge. The rules are:
Post a song a day for five consecutive days.
Post what the lyrics mean to you.  (Optional)
Post the name of the song and video.
Nominate 1 or 2 bloggers each day of the challenge.

Today I think I’ll choose Imagine by John Lennon.

I remember the time I first really got to know this song, and to consider the lyrics. We were singing it at a concert on my 6th from. I was around 16 or 17. The words really struck a chord, and as the years have gone on, they seem all the more poignant.

If only there was more peace in the world…  I know it is something that we all wish, but not something easy to accomplish given the present global situation.

Still, we can enjoy this beautiful song together at least, and hope that one day it will happen.

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

And today I nominate my Brother Syl and the musical maestro that is Rob.

Peace…

I know it won’t last, but for the first time in a long time, I am sat alone at home. The sun is shining, bed sheets are changed, ironing done, a cup of tea by my side.  Bliss!

Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids, and hubby, but to be surrounded constantly, every day, at work, and home, it can get a bit overwhelming.

So until around 12.30pm, I have peace…. Until I remember something else I need to do! But until then, I am relaxing!

But I'm not the only one...

But I’m not the only one…

D’ya like it??!!!

I love that song!

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

Feline Contentment – Haiku

  

I feel a certain

Peace of mind, feeling the purrs…

Feline contentment

Ritu 2015


Its been a lovely surprise the last two mornings, having my gorgeous, but normally undemonstrative kitty coming and climbing on my lap, all by himself in the mornings, as I have my 5 minutes of peace, before the household awakens!

Maybe he feels my happiness…

Maybe I’m not acting or radiating stress vibes, which I know I was, the past couple of months!

Maybe he just loves me!

Who knows?! But whatever the reason, it warms my heart, and lap, to have him come and sit on me, with no prompting… Baring his tummy and neck for a scratch and tickle, and even a cuddle!
