Find a spot on Earth that is comfortable for you. Keep that spot clean physically or in your mind. Think about the spot when you are away.
Yoko Ono

Interpretation
The quote reads like an instruction from Ono’s conceptual-art practice: a small, doable “score” that turns everyday life into mindful action. It suggests choosing a personal refuge—literal or imagined—and caring for it as an act of attention and self-stewardship. “Keep that spot clean physically or in your mind” links outer order with inner clarity, implying that maintaining a place can also mean maintaining a mental sanctuary. Recalling the spot when away frames comfort as portable: a practiced memory or visualization that can steady you amid displacement, travel, or stress. The emphasis is gentle discipline rather than escape—an ethics of care directed at one’s environment and one’s thoughts.
