Friðarsúlan

Mikið hlakka ég til 9. október í haust þegar á að vígja friðarsúluna, Imagine Peace Tower, sem Yoko Ono bauð Reykjavíkurborg til uppsetningar í Viðey. John Lennon, maðurinn hennar, hefði orðið 67 ára þenna dag.

Af vefsíðu Yoko: The IMAGINE PEACE Tower, which was envisioned by Ms Ono over 40 years ago, has plans to be constructed in Reykjavík. Through the collective efforts of the Reykjavík Art Museum and the City of Reykjavík the dedication of the site for this tower will be held on the picturesque Icelandic island of Videy. The base of the IMAGINE PEACE Tower will be filled with prayers and wishes from people of all nations and will serve as a beacon of light for all people who dream of world peace. 

"Each one of us was born at this time, not by chance, but to fulfill a mission. Our work is not yet done. I know that John's spirit will be joining us on that day, October 9th, in Reykjavík and I look forward to seeing you there to celebrate this exciting day.
WAR IS OVER, if you want it. I love you."
