100 Acorns - Yoko Ono
love this - 100 days of conceptual instructions by Yoko Ono - http://100acorns.blogspot.com/
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

When’s the last time you sent someone a handwritten thank you note?
A real pen meets paper thank you note that maybe — just maybe — you even mailed via snail mail?
And when’s the last time you received a handwritten thank you note from someone?
With texts, emails, and phones…we all know that handwriting is losing popularity…
But does heartfelt gratitude have to leave with it?
It’s a book that my dear friend Jaclyn got for me on my Kindle because she said, “It’s so Mona.”
She knows me pretty darn well, so I was really excited when I finally got to sit down and get into it.

Choosing love and making good memories. Questioning the mind.
Will you join me in this simple little activity using a pen?

I started reading a book today…It’s a book that my dear friend Jaclyn got for me on my Kindle because she said, “It’s so Mona.”
