100 Acorns
It's been 44 years since my book of conceptual instructions, GRAPEFRUIT was first published in 1964.
On 15 June 1968, John Lennon & I planted two acorns for peace at Coventry Cathedral. It was the first of our many Peace 'Events'.
In the summer of 1996, I picked up from where I left off, and wrote 100 ACORNS.
Starting on the 40th anniversary of the Acorn Peace Event on 15 June 2008, I will publish here an 'Acorn' every day for 100 days.
After each day of sharing the instructions, you should feel free to question, discuss, and/or report what your mind tells you.
I'm just planting the seeds.
Have fun.
Love, yoko

About Me
- Yoko Ono
- When I count what's wrong with my life, I get totally depressed. When I count the good things, I feel like smiling and I do. Then I think, "well, it's not all that bad." Life is just a bowl of cherries. But when I see myself smiling in the mirror, I like myself more. Well, life is a roller-coaster. That's what I now think. Recently, I got a message that I was a king, and I should stop the battle, and appreciate my victory. Well, I should listen to this one. And you, too, my friend. We are all kings. The battle is the battle of goodness winning WORLD PEACE. At all times, find something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best workout! Chimpanzees are wise to it. Are you?

I feel ashamed to confess...just how difficult I will find this
Does that include myself?
i never thought such a simple task would be such a challenge. i'm going to see if i can attempt a week starting from tomorrow morning.
I have been working on this project in the past few weeks. It makes me aware of:
a) How often I do say something negative
b) How much better I feel when I don't say negative things
Would you believe, Yoko, if I tell you I thought about doing such a thing yeseterday?
It 's a Spiritual Law: you don't judge your neighbour, you don't bring negative vibes to yourself.
Thanx for reminding me of that and for encouraging me to accept a challange like this. I will do my best to make it.
I want to tell you that I'm creating my own imagining exercises and it really works. You inspire me, Sister.
May The Light keep on making you brighten this world.
Wow!I So hard to do. This one is going to hurt. My tongue has been scorned.
I share shame with others.
I helping to elect principled people to public office this election year.
Which means I will be telling the truth about those who are running the US Gov't now.
The best I can do is try three day blocs where I don't participate in politics.
This challenge is perceptive, and awe-inspiring.
I love this one very much,
today my task was to be positive,
in one day I am feeling,
like I can see again.
three days
forty-five days
three months
This is definitely worth doing.
Love & Light to you Yoko, and everyone who is connected
As I first thought about this,
it seemed to me just natural
no not talk bad about anyone
and I had no consciousness of ... guilt,
because I actually believe in not talking bad and especially not thinking bad about other people
(because they feel it),
but then
I invited the mind police in and they found some stuff that put me to blame and shame.
This morning I had thought bad about my dog (which is anybody too) because yesterday, he (it's a he) ran off, (just let me standing stupid), to visit some nice lady doggy one mile away (one mile!).
And then I even did revenge!
I drove with my bicycle to town, to visit a doctor and do some shopping and left him alone at home.
He was howling out the window after me when I left.
I was not fealing guilty
and I still don't.
When I returned, he was looking at me with tender love or at least acted like it.
Ok, I don't wonna get into a confession session. After I found this bad thinking of mine I discovered a lot of other bad and sad thinking habits, for example in this time when TV-News are presented.
Negative thoughts about politicians, the ways of the world and and and ...
Really, TV can be an inspiration to think negative.
So I'm catching myself now to talk negative about TV.
Horrible!
How should one get out of this mess?
For 52 years I've always had great things to say about everyone in my life.
That's why it's so puzzeling "WHY" my own family is so negative.
MP is an anoyance and is irrelevant to JL.
YO is the one MOST loved.
Wilbau: I love your story about your dog. I think it is a love story between you and him. You love each other that is why you suffer when one of you leave the other one alone.
I totally agree with you about how negative TV (and media in general) can sometimes be. Too many people badtalking on it.

Appropriate image for the task at hand. This'll be complicated but I will try.
i beleive it is impossible and even yesterday old my niece that my sister was a scumbag.
I don't think the word is a bad word. I know where it comes from and how it is used and it makes me laugh. I use it about myself on a daily basis.
Butit clearly hurt my niecce and i'm sorry for that.
I am in bad situations right now and it is not easy to think kindly of people causing troubles.
TV is such a source for missplaced anger wherether it be politicians or facile presenters.
Whats the point of shouting a the tele. they can't hear ya. Whats the point of shouting. they won't hear ya. Shouting encourages them not to hear. but will they listen to silence.
I remember when me and my siblings decided we would not say "Hate" but instead "I don't like" or "Unlikable" instead of a word such as "Yuck" or "sick."
even such a small change somehow did something for us.
This sounds difficult. I'll try it for three days.
