YOKO ONO
MORE MAGAZINE: November 2007
Many women are creative, sensitive and intuitive people, but they give up before they try. It was natural in our household for my parents to always be saying, "What do you want to be?" My grandmother was a feminist in the 1920s. My mother was a painter, and she told me that she had to give up painting because she fell in love with my father; she didn't feel that I should be like that.
I'll give this advice to any 25-year-old: Just know that you're all right in every way. Know that the world is your oyster. |

Yoko Ono and an all-star cast of Japanese musicians will once again get together for this annual concert to celebrate the life and work of John Lennon.

The target of constructing 50 schools in five years has already been achieved, and the next five years have started with the new target of supporting 100 schools.

Oklahoma City Wish Tree
by Reatha Compton
This past weekend I participated in a Peace Festival in Oklahoma City (21st annual), sponsored by the Peace Education Institute. I was in charge of the children's activity room and we made a Wish Tree for the children to hang wishes on, along with other activities, such as making peace flags, peace mandelas and a peace collage. Around 50 children participated.
Peace and Love to you!
