My hope for our world and people who walk it is to
Live in concert regardless of differences,quit modernizing and glamorizing hate.
Be bold enough to love everyone with a deep understanding that tomorrow is not promised, and time is to be courted respectfully.
Let’s stop weaponizing food,love,color,diversity,age.Let’s be human…again.

Country: Nigeria
I am deeply honored to be part of this collaboration.
Thank you Emmajoy.

I appreciate the review

Let us look onto the world and see a web of strings
Strings to every stranger
Adjourn our souls as one
And at the end see clarity

Country: Bulgaria

[emmajoygreen]

How quick a reply! Your words are subtle, meaningful and finely written - thank you, thank you!

[Lex]

My hope for our world is simple and clear,
That we can all learn to love without fear.
To see past our differences and embrace,
The beauty in each unique face.

Country: United States of America

[emmajoygreen]

That is wonderful, BUT, it's far too long. We ask for four/five at most lines of prose or poetry! Select the ines you would like to offer.. please.. PLEASE!

[Anya Stork]

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is
that we unite to challenge dogmas.
Dogmas are tools of control, ruling over our minds and stripping us of the ability to think critically or take charge.
They render us helpless, unable to awaken to our true potential.
But once we awaken, we will clearly see what is wrong—and how to fix it.

Country: United States

[John the Baptist]

My hopes for the world are shaken,
But there's none I do not bless,
But brethren is it possible
We could kill each other less?

Thought and meter perfect, sir.. many thanks for joining this year's Holiday Collaboration. :)

I dont know you may block me,
But still you all are insisting me in my thoughts provibg me i am mindless, i am also saying i am not heartless,

Celebration or hope doesnt go be always
One day recognizing poor and giving alms or respect where you left a thokar and blame saying you poor, you are nasty..
I say hope is self who works hard to make it true though we rely on god,
For me you shouldnt hav dishope which makes you all alone
Hope is something like joyful heart which can cure their loneliness or evil
Hope is god hope is love where all tge world becomes caustic but you believe yourself that god is in you and he walks with you only to open eyes of those evil.

Hope is one which made me to walk in dark
Towards my path of light

Jessy, of course your words were used, BUT, they had to be shortened.. of course you understand why, my friend

My message of hope for our world and the people who walk it:

With the Hope of the Season
Know we are joined for a reason
Standing Together, we are strong,
To a Universal Family, we belong.

Happy, Healthy, Loving Holidays Wished 🌎❤️🕊️,

Wherever you walk you find love.
Wherever you walk you find joy.
Wherever you are and whoever you be.
You find someone who will walk with you, beside you, entertain you and who will be in your hope in life whatever.
I hope you can say. I did.

What wonderfully words and how I agree with the thoughts behind them, dear friend.

I'll pass your offering to Owl now. He is the editor who will list all the names and their words nearer the end of November or very early December for Planet Cafe!

[Marie]

Oh, that is so beautiful, Emma... Thank you again! I am in the process of inviting those on my friend's list at the moment, Emma...

[emmajoygreen]

You darling!!!!!! Spent hours sending out invitations.. have had quite a few acceptances and all beautiful if so many different ways. This could be a wonderful year - people wanting to unite and enjoy and smile and.. and.. and.. People can join together whatever, wherever, whoever.

WHY? Because they want to. :)

Thank you for so kindly allowing me to help you, dear Emma. It is a privilege for me, m friend. I agree 110% with everything you say and hope with all my heart it is a wonderful year for everybody, Emma. There has never been a time when the world needed to change than at the present moment and it would be SO good if 2025 was the year it happened... :)

[emmajoygreen]

I agree with you 100% or 10,00% if it was posssible. Never was good at maths!
