When you look up at the stars that stretch out in every direction, do you believe that there is a lesson to be learned from them?
I just think they are beautiful, and be thankful that I am here to watch them.

Music and art existed before there were schools.

Do you feel the internet has done more good or bad in a universal way? Can humans truly handle all of this information?
We will learn to handle even more. Don’t worry. Our brains are pretty elastic.

Did it bother you when musician who sang in Times Square on New Years’ Eve changed the lyrics to “Imagine”?
I just thought “oh, he’s creating trouble for himself!” Not to us, who know the lyrics left and right.

Hi Yoko: I have always loved you. Could you share some stories of your flux days? How you met the group and formed it.
Fluxus was formed by George Maciunas. He coined the word, as well. He just listed all the artist he liked and said they were Fluxus.

what is the best way to pull ourselves out of the dance of anger towards those who abuse our planet and change the tide to global appreciation and celebration?
If we are not angry, they will change their ways. It’s too fun to make you angry.

I once heard this, which I won’t be able to quote precisely, from the Dhali Lama: “Be passionately engaged, but detached from outcome” I try to practice this and yet, I find, my mouth speaks out in passion and I am deeply engaged on the outcome. Where is the dividing line? (oh, two questions!) Do you think it is possible?
I am passionately engaged. But I am detached from the outcome since it is so obvious that we have no control over it. What will be will be.

Hi Yoko. Ive spent my life on violence prevention activism in a variety of ways. Most important, I found, was a change in learning new skills and different beliefs to replace what is commonly learned. Are you involved with any groups that actually teach new ways of being for increased love or social organizing to do that? Also just want to say that I heard you came to Kutztown for Keith Haring’s service. I grew up in the same area as keith and have a newspaper clipping of Keith sitting next to me at the Kutztown PubLib’s storytime. I married one of his close friends. It’s nice to know we can all be connected in so many ways. I’m an artist too. Google me or see my fb page and website! Thanks for the opportunity to speak to you!
Hi, Karen Thank you for the opportunity to read your email. yoko

Thank you so much for answering my question Yoko
Joseph Martin john is a light that will never go out for all you need is love will continue to feed this light
he was a poet, songwriter, composer, a father, a champion for peace but most of all he was just a man. unlike paul m. he could feel and write a…bout pain and longing and reach the depths of dispair and somehow it was beautiful Help i need somebody, so i sing a song of love for julia, mother you had me but i never had you, women you understand the little child inside a man, i was dreaming in the past and my heart was beating fast, if you want money for people with minds that hate all i can tell you brother you’ll have to wait, war is over if you want it, no need for greed or hungar a brotherhood of man,but most of all IN MY LIFE I LOVE YOU MORE
happy birthday john you are loved and i and millions more will miss you
Yoko, your message is beautiful and we still believe in Peace.
Here in South America we fight everyday for our beliefs, our ideals, our peace motives and for the beauty of life.
Sometimes is very hard to swim against the currents, against over consumption, against the media, against the powerful and their money.
But when i saw you and your willpower to keep screaming for peace and love for everyone, i feel alive now and i’ll keep yelling and working to build a better world for us all.
Thank you Yoko. Mata ne!
Felipe Nadeau.
i need your help!…i’m in a big emotional crisis and i don’t think i’m handling too well….
[...] I relation till händelsen med Gloria Emerson är det intressant att läsa Yoko Onos svar på en fråga från RMG_Design på twitter om vad hon tror om de ständigt växande sociala mediernas roll i att skapa ”worldpeace and harmony”. Yoko svarar: [...]
Hello Yoko, thank you for being available. I was at MoMA this past weekend…I screamed and made a wish. Thanks for bringing me full circle…and thank you for your he(art). I will be thinking of you and John tomorrow. Xo jen
Hi Jen! It’s nice that you participated in the scream piece and screamed. Your scream joined all the other screams of that piece performed in MOMA, and is sending out a strong vibration and making a strong statement to the world. love, yoko
Many years ago in NY you and John did a TV show on channel 13 which I attended. I have never heard anything relating to this show. Could you please let me know why.
Love and God Bless
That show still exists as a video and is played once in awhile by the TV station.
My next cd with my poems / music will be dedicated to you and John. This because of the good vibes you’re givin’ to the world. More than thanks, and with lovin’ greetings from The Netherlands,
Jos Witteman
Once again thank you very much for taking the time to answer the questions your much appreciated n loved..cheers, thanks.

HI Yoko,
I am doing a write up on Cut Piece. I was wondering what is a message or representation you were trying to say with this piece?
Thanks,
Kallie
There are many layers of statements in that piece. It is not just one. yoko
Thank you for the answers that you shared to me especially about questions related when you were expecting a baby with John.. One of my favorites is you are craving meat and cabbage and about morning sickness.. hope if you don’t mind I could post some questions that was bugging in my head. it is all about Sean when he was not yet born (I mean inside your womb)… again thank you…
Love your response to my query, thank you so much for your work. You’re absolutely right about love.
Yoko, God bless you, love nessus
Yoko, one day I drove through Florida and felt incredibly sad, for no apparent reason, later, I found out Nam June Paik had died, how did you feel on that day? do you remember?
Yes. I felt sad. He was a good friend. yoko
Love your work Yoko !!!
Yoko, do you believe in “an eye for an eye”? those who kill should be killed in return or anything like that?
No. Watch this.
Thank you Yoko for taking the time to answer these questions. Your ideas inspire me.
