Universal Oneness Anthology Relevant In Today's World

Remember John Lennon' song Imagine or the song We Are The World?  Both were reminders about our desire for peace and harmony for everyone in the world. At this time in human evolution these songs and this poetry anthology remind us of the great potential we have on planet earth to make this world a world of peace and abundance. It all starts from within each of us. We are all connected.
