Yoko Ono's Cleaning Pieces

[jvtng]

CLEANING PIECE I Write down a sad memory. Put it in a box. Burn the box and sprinkle the ashes in the field. You may give some ashes to a friend who shared the sadness. CLEANING PIECE II Make a numbered list of sadness in your life. Pile up stones corresponding to those numbers. Add a stone, each time there is sadness. Burn the list, and appreciate the mount of stones for its beauty. Make a numbered list of happiness in your life. Pile up stones corresponding to those numbers. Add a stone, each time there is happiness. Compare the mount of stones to the one of sadness. CLEANING PIECE III Try to say nothing negative about anybody. a) for three days b) for forty-five days c) for three months See what happens to your life. CLEANING PIECE IV Write down everything you fear in life. Burn it. Pour herbal oil with a sweet scent on the ashes. CLEANING PIECE V Let a list of arbitary names come into your mind as you go to sleep. Say “bless you” after each name. Do this with speed, by keeping a constant rythm, so, in no way, you would hesitate to bless them.

I like this piece because it registers and celebrates the pain/joy you have within yourself  rather than just letting the feelings vegetate within your own sense of being (unhealthy) without knowing what they mean to you. Ono gives space for these feelings, active feelings. It’s a healthy suggestion for the unrest so many experience in the complicated cloud we call today’s society.

This song was the soundtrack to our week in July in Wales 2017. Right on the coastline after having been to Manchester, this British pop hit matched the excitement and energy of an long awaited reunion.

I saw her once, one little while, and then no more: ’Twas Eden’s light on Earth awhile, and then no more. Amid the throng she passed along the meadow-floor: Spring seemed to smile on Earth awhile, and then  no more: But whence she came, which way she went,  what garb she wore I noted not; I gazed awhile, and then no more!

I saw her once, one little while, and then no more: ’Twas Paradise on Earth awhile, and then no more. Ah! what avail my vigils pale, my magic lore? She shone before mine eyes awhile, and then no  more. The shallop of my peace is wrecked on Beauty’s  shore. Near Hope’s fair isle it rode awhile, and then nomore!

I saw her once, one little while, and then no more: Earth looked like Heaven a little while, and then  no more. Her presence thrilled and lighted to its inner core My desert breast a little while, and then no more. So may, perchance, a meteor glance at midnight o’er Some ruined pile a little while, and then no more!

I saw her once, one little while, and then no more: The earth was Peri-land awhile, and then no more. Oh, might i see but once again, as once before, Through chance or wile, that shape awhile, and then  no more! Death soon would heal my griefs! This heart, now sad and sore, Would beat anew a little while, and then no  more.

“I TOOK CARE OF MYSELF and it wasn’t beautiful. I took care of myself and looked at the overdue bills in the face, even though it hurt. I took care of myself and cried ugly through the therapy session; made another appointment for next week. I put in the work and wrote all the bad memories in detail. I apologized to all the friends I didn’t have the energy to talk to. I finally cut off all my dead ends and bought produce; slimly avoided sustaining myself on barbecue chips and poetry. I recycled. I set an alarm for 8 hours of sleep and did not sleep more or less. I took care of myself and it wasn’t bubble baths. It wasn’t lotion at Bath and Bodyworks and three-cheese pizza. It was uncomfortable. It wasn’t beautiful, but I am, and it didn’t have to be beautiful to be worth it.”

There is no point at which we can no longer strive to make the future better than it otherwise would be.
