Juxtaposed

December 7th and 8th are always such a strange juxtaposition of emotions for me personally, on the seventh we remember the anniversarry of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the United States entry into World War II, and then the eighth arrives and it is the anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon for the audacity to play the clown while advocating for peace. The phrase that sticks is always the same, and something all of us should wish for as we enter the holiday season, “War is over if you want it!”
