"Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one”

― John Lennon, Imagine

One more piece for my monk series. Painting this one I always remember our wonderful Thailand visits a long time ago, but still so vibrant in my mind.
