Do you have a favorite book or film or company or author or recipe or idea or secret or tip for healthy living or bit of advice or news source or web site or inspiring organization? Or perhaps an event or piece of music or enjoyable game or a certain question that you feel everyone should ask themselves? What do you think the rest of us should check out?

Now's your opporuntity to share a bit of wisdom or knowledge.

Pretend you were in charge of the arts programming for your community, and you were given the task of commissioning a series of public art pieces. What would you want to see?

Can you think of anything on which everyone in the world would agree?

Go back to the first entry you made in your blog. How would you continue it?

If you had to decribe a good neighborhood, what would you say? Have you ever lived in one? Do you now?

If you had to chose something about this communtiy that helped you open more, to yourself or to the world, what would you say? (It doesn't matter whether it's a particular incident or something more abstract; what's important is that it caused you to expand.)

If you had to pick someone in your life who you've been reminded of recently, who would it be? Is there anyone you've either lost contact with or don't see frequently who seems to have bubbled up in your memory or awareness lately?

The question 'who are you?' often comes up, but how would you answer 'Who are we?'

Where do you see a need to shift from “me” to “we”? What can a “we” approach give us that a “me” approach doesn't, and vice versa? What needs to change to have people used to “me” engaged in “we” solutions? In your family and community, where have you seen collaboration work wonders when competition and confrontation failed? How can 6.6 billion people work together?

(This week is Conversation Week 2008, and in hopes of encouraging discussion around these "most important questions in the world" and connecting people worldwide in these dialogues, we'll be participating through the QaRs. Answer here, but think, too, about asking those around you the same questions, or inviting not-yet-friends to offer their thoughts.

You can find out more about Conversation Week here. Also, please consider this week, and these questions, as a way to connect through our own in-person Gaia Gatherings!)

And not to worry. At the end of the week we'll be back to our regular programming. :)
