Since last May John Lennon has been sending me messages.  At first I was not sure what was happening.  Then it was more and more.  It all came in form of his songs.  As I was writing in my journal, I found myself writing down titles of songs I had heard many times but did not know the lyrics. To me it was just a Beatles song like so many people my age would remember.  But it was more than that.  The first clue was We all need a little help from our friends.  The next powerful insight came with Revolution, it drove me to look for Julian and Sean, I was learning all I could from the Lennons.  A few days later doing some hand laundry  Give Peace A Chance was felt and heard.  I mentioned this to my son who is a music artist, he didn’t say much, probably thinking that  his mother is sure crazy.  So I went about my new ALS normal self.  Later that night in the kitchen a tune just came into my head, not a title just a tune.  I didn’t even know the words but it ended with oh boy!  I later found out it was a song called In The Life.  And on and on, it did not stop.  Many many songs  came, I have it all written down but nobody cares.  I found that out.  As much as this meant to me, I wanted to shout it to the world but who listens to a 70 year old woman with ALS who lost her voice? Nobody.  So believe it or not at this point I really don’t care, it’s been important to me and that is all that counts.  My friend Kim went out to Matlacha Island near Cape Coral, Florida    when her sister visited and there she bought me a beautiful painting of the Beatles called Let it be.  I am about to hang it up, he still talks to all of us, telling me to let it be.
