Heart Talk
The weight of your heart equals:
a) a feather - when you're happy
b) an ocean - when you're sad
c) an old truck on a dusty dirt road - when you're angry.
d) a bright summer cloud - when you're dreaming

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?

My love says that every one's cup of pain is always full...
My heart is a,b,c,d,e,f,g...
Only through sharing our heart stories can I complete the rest of the alphabet. Every thing that I know is through other people.
We are so cherishable!
My little old heart, pumping life through my body, I am so grateful it is doing it's job and I must look after it!
I love it when my heart swells with love for us all. I wonder do other people sit on the train and think of how much they love everyone? Is it just me?
heart = soul
The weight of your heart can be a,b,c,d except when you hate. Then it is weightless because you have no soul. No heart.
FAR F****** WONDERFUL!
both: the drawing and the writing.
I have no words.
I'm astonished
I really would love to find the way of explaining the beauty of this acorn.
At this moment, the weight of my heart equals a pure Sanbu-ichi Yusui spring water crystal
Open.
Closed.
Connected.
Life is a heart beat,
before we realise,
the beat is but
a murmur.♥
The weight of my heart is a-d on different occasions, also a-d sometimes at once. Today I'd say that part of my heart's weight is b, because I think the last Acorn will be 23-Sept.
I will carry them with me to keep me warm in the coming cold weather.
Thank you Yoko, not only for sharing your word-acorns, but also for the wonderful drawings from the "Franklin Summer" series, which have lifted my heart, mind and spirit along with the acorns. It is one of my favorite series of your visual art, and yet it seems not to receive much attention. Even the otherwise-excellent book YES YOKO ONO only gave us 1 page of many of the drawings.
I wish for a book devoted exclusively to the "Franklin Summer" series - or would you prefer to combine it with "100 Acorns"?
Much love to you Yoko, for all you've done and all that you continue to do. i ii iii
All of the above ...
I love this - it is so true.
I came by thanks to Lilly !
My heart weighs the same as the ocean whether it's sad or overjoyed, because my heart is the ocean.
What a wonderful blog to come across - I was steered here through artpredator.
Heck!
How did you know?
i have no words to describe my HeArt
My HeArt bounds in the numinous moment. The numinous is far away.
I attended a seminar this morning. It made me wonder about where i belong. I believe i belong where my HeArt tells me to belong. My HeArt has not been advising or guiding lately.
My HeArt is some place distance. I will call it up some time.
My word verification for today is mr beohir. Does anyone know who mr beohir is?
Oh, I was happy to see the acorn today!!!!!
My heart is only an organ, it beats to keep my life's time. I walk to it's drumming. I sing to it's percussion, but our relationship is hazy and the trust I am forced to put on it to keep me going is a bit frightning. I don't fully understand it's intent.
It is my soul that is a feather when I am happy, and my soul that is an ocean when I am sad. My spirit that is a truck when I am angry and my spirit that is a cloud when I am dreaming.
I will leave my heart behind, but I am hoping when the day comes my soul will fly with me, all the way to where things are better, where fear can not live and love lasts forever.
I try so that I don't have to wait.
While I long to be completely fulfilled,
united with the lover of my soul for eternity,
his love endures even now.
His love has been given to me.
He is mine. I am his.
My heart dances.
yup yup yup
yupyupyupyupyup

This one is pure genius!:D
ooo, like a summer cloud, yes.
Yoko, I know your 100 days of 100 Acorns are over but I really enjoy looking through your instructions still. I even told the teaching assistant for my art history class about your blog when she lectured on fluxus art and showed us 'Grapefruit'! I love these stippled drawings... thanks for the art. :) it makes us understand ourselves more.
So true, as always with you, Yoko! You are such an inspiration to me! I love you! i ii iii
