More From Yoko Ono

Do you say that tree isn't pretty cause it doesn't look like that tree? we're all trees. you're a tree. i'm a tree. you've got to love your body, eve. you've got to love your tree. love your tree. (leah)
Tree Looks Body
Leaves are usually looked upon as the children of the tree. yes, they are children of the tree, born from the tree, but they are also mothers of the tree. the leaves combine raw sap, water, and minerals, with sunshine and gas, and convert it into a variegated sap that can nourish the tree. in this way, the leaves become the mother of the tree. we are all children of society, but we are also mothers. we have to nourish society. if we are uprooted from society, we can not trasform it into a more liveable place for us and our children.
Mother Children Sunshine
Christians, of all people, should not be destroyers. we should treat nature with an overwhelming respect. we may cut down a tree to build a house, or to make a fire to keep the family warm. but we should not cut down the tree just to cut down the tree. we may, if necessary, bark the cork tree in order to have the use of the bark. but what we should not do is to bark the tree simply for the sake of doing so, and let it dry and stand there a dead skeleton in the wind. to do so is not to treat the tree with integrity.
Christian Integrity Cutting
Sometimes i come across a tree which seems like buddha or jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation, giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbors, branches for the fire, leaves for the soil, asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. how much can i learn from a tree? the tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.
Love Beauty Beautiful
Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, `that is an oak tree', or `that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? to come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.
Hands Tree Mind
I think that i shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. a tree whose hungry mouth is pressed against the earth's sweet flowing breast; a tree that looks at god all day and lifts her leafy arms to pray; a tree that may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair; upon whose bosom snow has lain; who intimately lives with rain. poems are made by fools like me, but only god can make a tree.

Similar Quotes
My thoughts are crabbed and sallow, my tears like vinegar, or the bitter blinking yellow of an acetic star. tonight the caustic wind, love, gossips late and soon, and i wear the wry-faced pucker of the sour lemon moon. while like an early summer plum, puny, green, and tart, droops upon its wizened stem my lean, unripened heart.

Eyes that droop like summer flowers.

In this there is no measuring with time, a year doesn’t matter, and ten years are nothing. being an artist means: not numbering and counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn’t force its sap, and stands confidently in the storms of spring, not afraid that afterward summer may not come. it does come. but it comes only to those who are patient, who are there as if eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly silent and vast. i learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain i am grateful for: patience is everything!
Summer Pain Spring
I wrestled and played football in high school and in my last year, i started as a wrestler and actually had a fairly good record. but i hated to lose. i always gave it everything i had which, unfortunately, was not as much as i'd hoped for. but keep in mind, i feel like i got the most out of my ability. one moment that was special above all the rest was winning my last bout at the naval academy to finish the entire summer undefeated. that was thrilling, but what's more, it helped me in prison because the first time i got knocked around by the vietnamese, it did not come as a total shock.
