I throw wishes.

Posted on by

As 2026 began, thousands of handwritten wishes expressing hopes for kindness, peace, health, love, and personal growth were released over Times Square as part of the annual New Year’s Eve celebration, mixed into more than 3,000 pounds of confetti dropped at midnight. Collected throughout December via the Times Square Wishing Wall-both in person and online-the messages reflected voices from around the world and symbolized a shared moment of optimism as revelers welcomed the new year beneath a literal shower of collective dreams.

  7. Wishing and Hoping

    “Ding Dong”

    Wondering –
    Who’s right and what’s wrong?
    Pondering –
    Who’s weak and what’s strong?
    Unearthing
    Another Viet Cong,
    Hearing the same old song.

    Listening –
    The peace bell has no gong.
    Foreboding –
    Where has the holy dove gone?

    Wishing,
    Hoping –
    Forever too long.
