Lots of celebrities have a presence on Twitter, but few of them have convinced me that the actual celebrity personage is really behind the curtain. In Yoko Ono's case, I have to say, I think it's really her. Who else could generate such an intriguing blend of zen riddles, wisdom and da-da all with just enough of the non-native speaker tone to be convincing?
Here are some of her recent tweets:
1. Imagine one thousand suns in the sky at the same time. Let them shine for one hour. Then, let them gradually melt into the sky.
2. Imagine letting a goldfish swim across the sky. Let it swim from the East to the West. Drink a liter of water.
3. Be playful. Dance with your mind and body. It's such fun that "they" might start to dance with us, too!
4. If one billion people in the world would Think PEACE - we're gonna get it.
5. Welcome to time - the great equalizer of all things
6. This world is separated into two industries: the War industry and the Peace industry.
7. Next time you meet a 'foreigner', remember it's only like a window with a different shape to it and the person who's sitting inside is you.
8. Clean up the water inside your body. Let's be the oasis for the world. Even if you don't announce it, it will be felt by the whole world.
9.You are the media. We immediately get your message, even when you are not intending to send it out!
My personal favorites are #2, for its casual non-sequitur, #4, for its unintended message, and #5, for the sheer chutzpah of welcoming people to "time" ... beautiful.
