YOKO ONO answers your questions


I spent some time these days reviewing who I'm following in Twitter and who I won't follow for a while. You know how interesting it may be having the list that really fits/feeds you, don't you?

The less people I follow, the easier to appreciate what really matters me.

This revision took me, for example, to Yoko Ono's. Really interesting views from her. Here you can read some Questions and Answers. I have selected the ones that moved me most:

PearlJm1122: Hi Yoko, I wanted to ask you, what is your favorite movie? love e.

Anything thata moves. It doesn’t have to be on the screen you know. We are all movies.

gogomariada: Hello, Yoko san! what is the most necessary matters for the world now?

To be good and cherish other people’s goodness. The world was praising being hip, up to now. But goodness is getting very important for our survival.

putterill: We are all creative beings, how can we become the artists we have within us?

Your emotional necessity will make you be one.

tiffanylimos: Do you have any good writing advice? Will you be applying it for your upcoming book? How do you find time to write?
You will make time when you really need to write for your emotional satisfaction.

yingwang19: how often do you take mental health days and what do you like to do during those breaks?
I take a break every two seconds or so. Breathing deeply is all you need to do to keep up your mental health.

jenna_ny: Dear Yoko, what is the first thing to do to realize my dream?

Write down what you want, put it in your drawer, and forget about it. One day, you will read it and be surprised that your wish became true.

burtlewi: are you free?
I also have the crosses all human beings carry. Like having to remember to breathe….:)

plinth_man: Yoko, what do you worry about most of all?

I worry about worrying. It doesn’t help to worry about anything. You draw the thing you worry about.

angelaginger: What are three most important things in life?
To love. To laugh. To forget


Breathe deeply and enjoy life!

Will we be part of the solution or part of the problem?

Enjoy life!

A PRESENT FOR YOU

You probably came across this site in a strange way. Maybe you are kind of procastinating. Don't worry, you are lucky now to be here. Listen!

I spent some time looking for a embeddable version of the video (you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vVN02w9pSA&NR=1) Impossible. Didn't worry and during the search I came across this wonderful version sung by Mart'nália. What a nice finding!

Sweet, isn't it?

Here some comments that picked my eye:
  • nancylove154 My parents know him personally, and did you know that he just walked in to the recording studio one day and made this up? Like practically on the spot? It just came out of nowhere. Thats how amazing he is!!
  • 123456789ironhide i feel happy every time i hear this
  • beckd97 if you listen closely you will notice that the entire instrumental is just bobby clicking and making sounds pretty cool righ
  • Joe77477 I was really worried about something just 5 minutes ago, but I can't seem to remember what it was....oh well :)
LYRICS FROM MC FERRYN'S
Don't Worry, Be Happy
From the Movie "Cocktails"
Performed by Bobby McFerrin

Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....

There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon pass
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
Enjoy life!
