first I'd like to than rose for the beautiful logo.

the idea for this group sprung to my mind after I receive a message from Mohamad sh.

he wrote:

Dear everyone,

As you all see my list, i have a 120 friends, part of them palestinian, others from israel and also some from other arab countries and others like USA , EU, and more, i would like to ask a sensitive question to my friends from israel, and also other are welcome to answer it: everyone of us here talking peace, and about peace, and sounds for me life on this is is so great and lovely, seems no hatred and racism, no occupation and war, from big part of the comments i read mostly we say: we want peace, and here is my question: WHEN WE SAY PEACE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS NICE WORD, WHAT KIND OF PEACE WE WANT, WHERE COULD BE OUR LIMITES, BORDERS AND WHAT CAN WE GIVE TO MAKE PEACE REAL, LOTS OF QUESTIONS THAT FOR SURE NEED A DEEP THINKING TO SATISFY OUR NEEDS.
THANKS

So I answered:

That a really good question. I thank you for it, Mohamad. Peace means a great deal of different things to many people. It is a very personal question. I can tell you about the first things that come to my mind when I close my eyes and think of peace. I see no more wars. I see a time when my grandchildren don't have to spend 3 years of their lives in the army. I see equality and respect between peoples and nations. I see my Arab friends come to visit me at home, I see us going to the beach together. I see myself hanging out with my Lebanese friends in Beirut. But most of all, I see myself being able to get in the car with my dad (who is 87 years old) and 2 sons, and drive to Baghdad, Iraq, through Jordan or Syria. In Baghdad he takes us to the house he was born in, and to all the places he told us so many stories about. There, we close a circle.
These dreams might sound trivial to many, but these simple acts have been denied of so many people in the Middle East.

What would I give for REAL peace? Almost everything.

Then I thought, why limit it to Mohamad's friends. It's an important question. Why not open it up for everybody in iPeace?

Last summer I attended a lecture by Arun Gandhi (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi) & Mairead Corrigan Maguire (Nobel Peace Prize winner) in the Scottish Parliament, here in the historic & beautiful city of Edinburgh.

Mairead spoke of nurturing & cultivating love & peace within yourself, and then sharing it. Arun quoted his Grandfather who spoke of the seed of peace. If this seed is kept in a box it will wither & die. However, if the seed is exposed to the elements it will grow & flourish!

The message is clear, share your peace & let it grow & flourish.

And, with this in mind, please embrace the philosophy behind this movement and share your passion for peace by reaching out and inviting your friends.

Comment by Clicia Pavan on September 28, 2011 at 4:59am: It Is Written in the Stars

Find the real reason to be happy
Count the seconds to smile
Diving in fantasies
And get lost in dreams
Run to infinity
Playing with the stars
Talking with the Angels
Being happy is not to waste a second
Make every moment
a new story to tell
Make every second an eternity
The real reason to be happy
It is protected by the stars
And the stars only deliver this reason
For those who believe in happiness
And no doubt the love
For those who believe in hope
Only the stars know what you keep in the soul
Lots of light and peace
Clicia Pavan

Está escrito en las estrellas

Encontrar la verdadera razón para ser feliz
Cuenta los segundos para sonreír
Buceo en las fantasías
Y se pierden en los sueños
Ejecutar hasta el infinito
Jugando con las estrellas
Hablar con los Ángeles
Ser feliz es no perder ni un segundo
Que cada momento
una nueva historia que contar
Hacen cada segundo una eternidad
La verdadera razón para ser feliz
Está protegido por las estrellas
Y las estrellas sólo ofrecen esta razón
Para aquellos que creen en la felicidad
Y sin duda el amor
Para aquellos que creen en la esperanza
Sólo las estrellas saben lo que tenga en el alma
Mucha luz y paz
