Draw an imaginary map. Put a goal mark on the map where you want to go. Go walking on an actual street according to your map. If there is no street where it should be according to the map, make one by putting the obstacles aside. When you reach the goal, ask the name of the city and give flowers to the first person you meet. The map must be followed exactly, or the event has to be dropped altogether. Ask your friends to write maps. Give your friends maps.

Beautiful.
(Yoko Ono went to Sarah Lawrence. The lore about her is that she had a screaming fight with her mother and locked herself into a lecture hall. Also that she never graduated. No idea whether this is true.)
That's my favorite part, too.
And I've vaguely heard those rumors, too. That's pretty much "putting the obstacles aside" right there for you!
I love love love Yoko Ono. So much. This post is exactly what I needed today - thanks!
