Mend an object.
When you go through the proccess of mending, you mend something inside your soul as well.
Think of a "crack" in your own life or the World.
Ask for it to be healed as you mend the object.

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?

It's not enough to ASK, you must demand, as you mend.
I'm still working on yesterdays piece! Being a technician, today's will be easy, and can make it all nicer.
Use strong glue when mending!
Destruction can be another way of mending too. This summer I've spent a whole month tearing down walls to make clearer and wider some rooms in the old house. I felt that animosity, ill feelings or hostility were melting inside me at the same time.
Yoko,
You are amazing. As a nurse I help to mend others. You have given me a new way of thinking about mending and a new way of thinking about my profession. Bless you Yoko.
Love
Jill

Yoko,
You have given me a new outlook on mending. As a nurse I help to mend others. Thank you for this post.
Love Jill
There is a huge crack in my soul right now, as I try to deal with my broken body. Like a bird who doesn't understand that it can no longer fly, I struggle to soar with the others, flailing on the ground in my own tears (that I am oh so sick of crying).
I will mend something. If I can't mend my body, I might be able to mend my soul. My spirit will live on.
(deja vous...)
Piecing the world together,,,I do a lot of mending and feel v gratified by it. I see people making quilts and patchworks out of scraps and I know they feel they've created order out of chaos. Return the energy!
What a liberating practical exercise!
Thanx, Yoko.
Wonderful observation.......
A new proverb just when we all needed it. Mahalo plenty

I think I need to get back to some sewing! Would that mending my broken soul were so easy...
You are very right,Yoko.
It does mend one's soul to mend something.
Do you suppose that's why many elderly people knit?
