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?

IMAGINE PEACE TOWER - LIVE

that was not a story of persistence or endurance but it reminded me that sometimes to dance i must persist, i must endure.
i know what i persist about
i know what i have endured
i know what we persist about
i know what we endure
persistence and endurance are about inner strength. Maybe we can show it in a more delicate dance
The Passion flower touches your spirit and allows your mind and body to relax while you dance your life dance to your inner song without worrying who is watching.
Sounds like child abuse to me.
Let yourself get intoxicated with the beautiful essence of peace and light. Let it move you in every which way. It will create the dance that will fill everybody around you.

this is my favourite part from Grapefruit.
A lovely, magical text. It made me feel relaxed behind my eyes. Hmmm, where can I find some of those flowers?
I bet I would actually be a good dancer if I could do it in my sleep. I wouldn't know anyone was watching.

I thought this might be appropriate here ~

DANCING THE REVOLUTION
Black South Africans fought for 40 years to dismantle the oppressive system of apartheid. One of their most potent weapons was toyi-toyi, a militantly exuberant form of singing and dancing. It served to mobilize the energy of crowds at the large protest demonstrations that ultimately broke the will of the white minority rulers. Imagine how confounded their authoritarian minds must have been when confronted by thousands of high-spirited activists passionately singing and dancing in unison.
I danced last night!
I think that this is such a Beautiful story,to simply dance and not even know that you are dancing.
