In 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono planted two acorns for peace at England's Coventry Cathedral, then mailed additional acorns to a variety of leaders with a letter reading, "Enclosed in this package we are sending you two living sculptures - which are acorns - in the hope that you will plant them in your garden and grow two oak-trees for world peace."
John Lennon wrote about the acorns in the Beatles song "The Ballad of John and Yoko." Now Yoko has released a book called "Acorn", a collection of thought provoking short messages, that illuminate life, like Haiku.
Imagine if you planted two acorns on the spot where you first met your true love. Perhaps, years from now you would see the beauty, strength, and love in every leaf and branch. That oak tree would be a perfect symbol of your love.
