Wish for the Day: 08/07
Every day LAist will be sharing wishes from Wish Tree for Pasadena with you.
Yoko Ono's Wish Tree for Pasadena is an interactive installation at Colorado One. The Wish Trees will remain there until November 9 when it will join other wishes from around the world at the Imagine Peace Tower on Videy Island, off the coast of Reykjavík, Iceland
One of the best things about of Wish Tree is that you get to peek at everyone else's wishes, and LAist wants to share the experience with you.
Some of the wishes might make you smile, and some of the wishes might make you sad. Some of the wishes might make you think. Maybe one of the wishes will even be yours.
Write your wish
Tie it on a branch of the tree
Ask your friends to do the same
Keep wishing
-Yoko Ono

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
