a) Dangle empty cans and bottles all over your body.
Dance without making a sound.
b) Carry a heavy object on your back.
Dance as swiftly as you can.

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?

the heart of an apple reaching out, showing and sowing its seeds, exposed, open, offering growth.
what are these accoutrements around me?
Why wear them?
Why not take the example of the apple?
Or was it a strawberry?
200 seeds on the outside for you to sow or eat. Either way growth.
I make no sound in eating my apple and no sound in eating strawberries either. I know of those who think disabled people eat too loudly and put off customers and so ban them from their cafes.
this is the weight i bear on my back. it cannot stop me dancing but it does weigh me down though it does not stop me dancing. My dance is slower now. It used to be faster. My speed cannot stop me dancing. My speed is as fast as my body will allow with or without the weight.
And i am dancing. A dance of change. Changing rhythm, changing places. the dance halls are open and society is changing.
Was st Vitus the lord of the dance? Was St Vitus a disabled person? Will you let us join or lead the dance?
a) I draw a cartoon self and dance across the pages.....................
b) I wear a T-Shirt with "heavy object on my back" and dance sooooooooooooo swiftly ..................
a: could be possible of one danced agile and fast enough I suppose...
b: we should remember to let go of things that only weigh us down and deter us from our divine purpose as humans.
You have beautiful ideas. Lightness and freedom. Being inside and out at the same time, positive and negative space. My mind is loosened, and I want to respond with action...can you see me? I am smiling.
...to continue on our path without disturbing the obstacles in our way...
Its not good to imagine a heavy weight, unless its one you can dance with it being on your back.
