YOKO ONO: ORATO QUESTIONNAIRE: AUG 2008
Questions by Heather Wallace, Answers by Yoko Ono
forwww.orato.com.
Yoko, what advice would you give to an artist who has lost his or her
sense of inspiration?
To know that it will come back at an unexpected time so not to worry
or push it.. But be prepared for the time it will come back. Meaning,
don't kill yourself getting drunk or shooting up. Just relax and have
fun.
…to a peace activist who has lost his or her belief in peace?
If you believe in the doomsday scenario, just have fun while you can.
Having fun is the best way to bring Peace in your life...and ours.
Don't be upset then, that doomsday didn't come.
…to a war monger who never believed in peace in the first place?
Tell him stop being angry and enjoy life. If all of us did that, there
will be peace.
…to a traveller who is stuck in the mud?
Take all your clothes off and roll in the mud until you get to the
place there's no mud.
…to a beautiful woman who is "losing" her looks?
Just know that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. To some people
you are definitely more beautiful now. In fact, i'm already attracted
to you now, since I sense the delicate shade created in your demeanor
you probably did not have before.
…to a lover who has lost his or her love?
Sometimes memory is all you have. Some people don't even have that. Be
thankful that you have one.
…to a human who has lost his or her sense of self?
What an illusion! When you lose your life, you will know that you did
have a sense of yourself when you were alive. Don't wait till then.
Just be thankful that you have your life, and therefore, a sense of
yourself. We know you do. You are alive! It's not the time to hide
from yourself.
Lots of love, yoko
This philosophy reminds me of the teachings of Norman Vincent Peel.
(I think that was his name) I had a friend who followed that
idealogy. She insisted on seeing the positive in things, no matter
how bleak.
