And I love Gordon Downie; an eccentric's eccentric, and a great human being...

I hope you're doing well, m'friend! What are you up to this am? :hug:

I was at the Alberta Peace Event at the Hawrelak Park amphitheatre last evening (Monday). It was wonderful. We had a group meditation beforehand (some of those techniques I will definitely incorporate into my own meditation), the drummers and then speakers from various organizations committed to peace. They even got Deepak Chopra on the phone for a bit.

In the end, we all stood up, held hands and sang "Imagine".

I'm thrilled that 200+ people showed up, and it lasted 3 hrs. I don't think it was highly promoted.

Here are a couple of websites if you're interested:
