END PIECE


Each planet has its own orbit agenda.
Think of people close to you as planets.
Sometimes it's nice to just watch them
orbit and shine.


HAPPY ORBIT 2008!

Love, yoko

Samm you were in my acorn orbit. revisit yesterdays orbit, i responded to you.

i hope that you continue to orbit well.

Today i'm having a tidy day.

Within my tidying people will shine around me.

I'm to see Terry first thing this morning. Terry is a person with learning disabilities. terry wants to be independent. I met him in a day centre. he was part of a self advocacy group. I supported him to win a millennium award. He wanted to explore photography. Photography took him out of the centre. He lived with his old mom. He mom acquired dementia. He supported her or as long as he could. Then she moved into a home. Terry had no travel skills but he learned how to use the bus and he sees his mom most weeks.

His sister moved in with him. His brother in law too. They live differently to terry. they have different laws, different codes, different ethics to live by but they care for Terry and they love him. Terry loves them back but he can't stand to live with them. he is moving into his own gaff (home) (house. He wants to learn how to cook for himself. he wants to learn to remember to turn the cooker off.

Terry shines.

He will come here today.
He will insult me out of friendship.
He will talk up his own imprtance.
He will have a drink.
In all this he shines slightly.

Then we will get down to work. he will tell me about his life. he will tell me about what he wants, he will tell me how i can help him. In doing this he will shine brightly.

My concern is no one else puts the lights out for him, for me, for us all. Keep the lights on.

Shine on.

Powerful thoughts these are. Thanks.

I thought this "Acorn" project was over at the 100th. Glad to see it continue, even for a moment longer.

Yoko seems extraterrestrial to me?
A very good thing, IMO.

What fun to be able to participate anew in the historical 13 day diy dance festival!
Not forgetting to do something everyday to make my heart dance; and on those days we all have when our own hearts won't dance, to try to make another's heart dance.
Good advice as always Yoko, and beautifully simple.

It is wonderful to watch the planets orbit. Their brightness is breathtaking.

Detrich, Terry is special. His brightness will cover those around him. Continue to shine.

Samm, thank you for the challenge. I am excited to see what the beginning is going to bring.

Yoko, your planet sheds the most beautiful light. It fills my heart.

I am glad you chose to orbit my way.

100 Acorns
Fallen in the Autumn mulch
A nice spot to visit as they were falling
And a nice place to reflect
As they shoot out roots in the minds of all of us virtual gardens

Thank you for allowing me to orbit near all of you moving through gracefully and safely for these last 100 and two days. It has been very nice see you shine.
It’s scary when ones orbit takes you to places where you suddenly wonder: Where have all the other planets gone? Fortunately I think that we all have just learned from Yoko that we still have the chance of a 100 approximately infinite directional changes.

The other day we took the kids up to the lake for a picnic with some friends for my daughters birthday. Up in the park there are huge oak trees and all over the ground were millions of acorns. The kids and even the adults were whipping them at each other, filling thier shirts with "ammo" and running and hiding behind the giant oaks and the cars, laughing and screaming with joy! That is how I picture all of us. Taking Yoko's acorns and playing with them joyfully. Sometimes the outcome stung for a second or two when it hit (as deep thought often does) but in the end it was great fun to watch each other respond to the "thrown" acorns. Love to you all today.

Yoko, if you feel like writing a blog everyday for the rest of your life I will be here to read them.

I enjoyed the idea of others having thier own orbit. It is the perfect way to describe humans and human activity, and especially the inablility of most humans to see beyond thier own 4 ft. box. Your imagination is truly a finely tuned instrument. I am going to dust mine off and see if it still works!

Yoko, I cannot put into words how much this journey has meant to me. It has been a deep pleasure and privilege to walk this gentle path under your wisdom and guidance. Thank you for the gift of your creative genius, your spiritual teaching, and your love for all those who travel this planet with you.
A hundred blessings!

So true!
sometimes I enjoy watching someone laugh more than laughing myself.
Watching some enjoy them selves and being happy more than being happy myself.

If I could take away everyone's pain and sadness,and be the one to bear them instead,I would.
Just to see to know that they could "orbit and shine" in true peace.

Thank you Yoko, for giving us these chances to think outside of the box. Thank you for the gifts of acorns and dances. Thank you for being you. ((hugs))
