After a long cold winter, the Brooklyn Tagger is BACK, baby! 

First one of the year "published" outside an old favorite spot in the East Village. Wrote the tag last year, been carrying it around for months.

While the phrases on the tags are usually what I consider fictional, this one does actually relate to the recent personal.

Yoko Ono's Wish Tree at the Brooklyn Museum

My cousin spotted this today at the Brooklyn Museum and sent me a picture.

Inspired by my project? Or zeitgeist? Or kismet?

No, it's Yoko Ono's Wish Tree, an audience-and-artist collaborative project that she has mounted in locations around the world since the 1990s.

I imagine it is more inspired by wishing trees in Japan, like these in Kyoto depicted in Lost in Translation.

Yet there is a resonance -- dated phrases hand-written on tags, strung up on something outside.

Tying on wishes, hanging prayers.

Speaking to the wind.
