Imagine Peace

I was listening to a Yoko Ono interview this morning on Democracy Now. She was talking about her recent installation of the Imagine Peace Tower installed on Videy Island in Reykjavik, Iceland. As soon as I plugged my laptop in at work, I looked up the Peace Tower and was stunned by its beauty. In her interview this morning, she talked about Iceland and the darkness there and the brilliance of her Imagine Peace Tower in contrast to that darkness and how it works its atmospheric magic in the cold, damp air. I've always loved Yoko Ono's work for its message of positivity and optimism. For example, the Wish Piece:

WISH PIECE

Make a wish.
Write it down on a piece of paper.
Fold it and tie it around a branch of a wish tree.
Ask your friends to do the same.
Keep wishing
Until the branches are covered with wishes.

Yoko Ono, 2007

I would like to make a little wish tree inside my house and fill it with pretty paper wishes. That way, there would never be any rain on my wishes.
