Yoko
Ono was an artist and peace activist, specifically known for her
marriage to John Lennon and her work in avant-garde art, music and
filmmaking. Though this is not a piece of advice that I have stuck to
my whole life, I find these few words enlightening and somewhat
comforting. This passage was taken from her book Grapefruit,
which
is considered one of the earliest examples of conceptual art. This
simple score, labeled Cleaning piece III, is one that acquires a
rudimentary feel of joy and comfort simply through recitation.
Imagine if everyone took time to follow this cleaning piece, how much
better life would be and how much cleaner our souls would feel. This
5 simple lines illustrate a sense of utopian perfection that is
almost euphoric in impact and consequentially a piece of advice I
will strive to achieve starting Monday.
