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?

thank you so much yoko

thankyou again
Today i colour myself pink.
I glow.
The glow will keep me warm through winter as i wait for spring.
Hope all those who are facing winter are ready and will stay well especially as spring came late to london this year.
A coloured fresh, warm and tender wind has come into my house today. I’ll try to keep it alive through the seasons for me and for all around me to breathe.
Spring is here, Now, and forever present in the hearts of those who want peace, joy, and happiness for mankind.
Bless you Yoko, and I'm glad you and John survived thru' all the ignorance, predjudice, and adultery life had thrown at you two.
Know that YOU were John's only muse, and no one else.
Feel sadness for the ones who are bitter that John loved only you.
Thank you.
Completely by coincidence, I am finishing an artwork of mine today.
I get back to you about those colors in the springtime.
Thanks especially for your reminder about John Lennon's birthday today.
Peace Out
Peace In
Peace Everywhere
I am now green. The color of life. The color of growth. The color I wish my eyes were. I want to be green because the sun has photosynthesized my body and I am warm. I want to see green, but soon I will see nothing but white. I have to remind myself that spring wouldn't be so sweet if it wern't for the long winter. A lot of things in life are like that.
Peace to you all today, and to Yoko on her husbands birthday. Love Jamie
Right now I am the color of Autumn leaves. I feel like the sunset over the forest in this October. I feel now. I feel tomorrow and I feel every day behind me. I'm not sure how far away spring is but when it comes, I'll let you all know.
I'm coloring myself yellow today because yellow is not what I feel, but what will make me happy today. I'm usually not a yellow kind of person, but yellow is the sun in afternoon and yellow are sunflowers in summer and today yellow will be my color of hope, warmth and joy because we all need a little yellow sometimes.
Thank you so much, Yoko, for the dance. It was the best dance I've ever been to. Thank you so much, everyone, for sharing your ideas and experiences. I've had a great time. I won't stop dancing.
Happy birthday, John!
I am in Australia so it's spring for us now! I am green, all shades of green with touches of crimson, fuschia, pink and violet. How I love this time of year - when hope springs eternal!
At this time, I'll wrap myself in the deep blue-grey of the sky, the lighter grey of the concrete, the pastel rainbow hues of the row houses across the street, the brilliant white of the moon, and the green (with some yellow starting to peek out) of the leaves.
Thanks for the acorns and for the dance, Yoko, what's next?
A late happy birthday, Johnny Rhythm Ono Winston O'Boogie Lennon! Sorry to be late, but my pc slept in for a couple of days.
I think that maybe the spring of my life is returning..after a long hard winter of my life..I think I finally see the sprouts of green starting to show.
Thanks for your post, quite worthwhile material.
