humanity  For me, it is almost impossible to think of humanity without thinking of  John Lennon because he is who I began to learn the concept from  When I saw a video of what i have been calling  the "je suis" people filling the streets of Paris and singing Lennon's song, Imagine i was at once filled with such awe We are only here for the love there is nothing else we must stop looking for it in other humans and find it in ourselves Often there are no words    only the essence of word combinations and the cosmic connection which makes us all one Aho Amen Awen   Noblesse Oblige Je suis Charlie One Love because Aaaaaahhhhhh... Because the world is round it turns me on Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh Because the wind is high it blows my mind Because the wind is high...aaaaaaaahhhh Love is all, love is new Love is all, love is you Because the sky i
