Strawberry Fields, Central Park, Manhattan
“When they lived in the nearby Dakota on 72nd Street and Central Park West, John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, adopted this landscape as their favorite oasis in the Park… Yoko Ono later donated $1 million to the Central Park Conservancy to relandscape and to maintain the 2.5-acre tear-drop-shaped parcel of park landscape.” More on Strawberry Fields at the official Central Park site.
Thoth, Central Park, Manhattan

I went over to that part of Central Park were they had the Strawberry fields. It was interesting
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
Imagin there’s no countries
It isnt hard to do
Nothing to kill for or die for’
No religion too,
Imagin all the people
living life in peace
Imagine no possesions, I wounder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagin all the people,
Sharing all the world…
You may say Im a Dreamr,
but Iam not the only one’ Ihope some day you,ll join us,
And the world will live as one
I thought this song was one of the best of my era
