Pretend for a moment that you had access to a form of communication that would allow you to broadcast a message to the entire world. Everyone, no matter their language or location or level of education, would hear and understand you, and everyone, no matter what they were doing, would stop and listen. You've been given this medium to deliver a short message of your choice. Think for a moment, and then let us know...

Today is 07/07/07. In the next 24 hours, what are you going to do to change the world?

Imagine you're in a position to give anything you'd like to the world. What will you give? What would life be like then?

If you had to pick one thing that represented sheer goodness to you, what would it be?

If you had to share a favorite game of make-believe, or describe an imaginary friend or world you knew when you were young, what would you say?

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

How have you tried to “be the change” in your work and life? Who inspires you by “walking their talk”? What gaps do you notice between your “walk” and “talk” and what steps can you take towards “being the change”?

(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. :)

What's the economy for, anyway? How does “the economy” make it hard to make choices for sustainability – a healthy balance between material, social and ecological needs? Where have you seen economic structures that actually contribute to greater sustainability? In a sustainable economy, how would you and your community meet your needs for the basics and also for those things that make life worth living?

Where do you see beauty in the world?

What sort of world do you dream of?
