. . . The joy of creativity comes as much from engaging in the PROCESS as it does in the final PRODUCT. This site was inspired by Yoko Ono’s poetic invitation to explore our playful, creative side in her 1964 book, Grapefruit.

| • |
Because the grapefruit is a hybrid plant, representing the fruitfulness of collaboration: the collision of new methods and ideas.
|
| • |
Because it's a New World plant.
|
| • |
Because, as a fruit, it represents abundance, joy, the cycle of life.
|
| • |
Because it tastes both tart and sweet.
|
| • |
Because the first time I opened Yoko Ono’s book, Grapefruit, I was stunned by the power of creativity that comes simply by inviting people to imagine, express, participate in the process of creating. It can be as simple as looking, naming, wishing, or hammering a nail.
