Always on the lookout for things that shift our view and spark ideas, we were very happy to discover that Yoko Ono’s 1970 book Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings by Yoko Ono has been reprinted. It is a FINE book of instructions— koan-like meditations that will, in fact, make you see a little differently…
…in a sort of back-of-the-mind way…
…
We find one a day, especially in the morning, like a kind of tonic.
The book also makes a surprising gift.
Thanks Holton and Maria!

Love it, but hard to understand.

Yeah, I think that’s part of how it works. You “get” with another part of your brain.
1961 .-
Yes, the original was published in 1961. Then Yoko made additions for an expanded volume in 1970 or so.
Ha! I love it! It does sound like a good source for a daily tonic, or a koan. What a find! I love your quirky posts. Amy
