Sit at the dock.
Watch the seagulls dance.
Dance with them in your mind.
Keep dancing until you feel
you can hear their heartbeats.

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'm sitting on the dock of the bay watching the ships pursued by hungry seagulls, waiting for the bilge of cast offs from trawlers.
They are hungry and they cry. Beseech. Food. Beg You.
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay and i know the truth about the world. Fish stocks are low. Its easier to beg from the hunter than it is to hunt.
But, whilst i'm sitting here,, watching, knowing, a strange thing happens. I remember all the naysayers in Jonathan Livingstone Seagull. Those who said it coun't be done. And i suddenly see the grace in the seagulls. They seem now to be singing a very different song. They rock. And i hear one say we always were a bunch of old flappers anyway. And i am transported.
My feet dangle in mid air,
the water is crystal clear,
the seagulls are playful,
dancing between sky,
and water.
I watch with grace,
wondering the next,
swooping move.
Musical notes begin
to flow and dance,
an invisible cord
pulls me into flight,
yeeeeeeeeeee.
What fun it is,
to play,
to connect.
Beautiful,calming and humbling.
Oh their little hearts beat so fast it is a whir!
All those billions of heartbeats around the world...wonderful.
The mind can blend with the other living things to become incorporated into one, it is something every living thing does easily.
Anonymous too.
Oh I would much rather listen to the Rock and Roll coming out of the cool new juke boxes.
