On February 23rd I had the great privilege of seeing Yoko Ono perform with her new Plastic Ono Band. I have loved her for a long time, but seeing her was more emotional and inspirational than I expected. She has given her entire being to art and peace, and at 77 she continues to give as completely, as powerfully... if not more. I honor her here, in my own small way, with these 7 Haikus.
1.
Not unlike a wolf
But when she howls at the moon
The moon will howl back
2.
Living with two hearts
They are: an ancient mountain
And a baby bird
3.
Warm face, cold fingers
Her mind always in the light
Hands in the water
4.
A one word mantra
Because peace is so simple
She only says "yes"
5.
A room that is white
Is not the same as silence
It says "I don't know"
6.
Picking up borders
Knocking down the bedroom walls
To make one long house
7.
No separation
In her dream we are all one
What a big family!
