A further testimony to the power of collaboration, community spirit and love. This project literally unfolded to demonstrate that anything is possible if you truly believe it can happen. It was initiated as a response to some people who didn't see the future as a happy place to be taking up residence in. We went from News Doom and Media Propaganda to singing a John Lennon/Yoko Ono classic in just a couple of weeks.

This was a lovely moment, especially for the younger ones, something tangible and real to remember being a part of. Something small but very significant. They completely understood and resonated with the meaning of the song and the importance of singing it to the world in that moment... “A very merry Christmas, and a happy new year, let's hope it's a good one, without any tears... war is over, if you want it, war is over.” Peace is the only way. Listen... End war - 2024 firewhorl
