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 February 17, 2009 at 2:06pm: Veo un periódico cada día que pasa y cedinho
Hoy me fui caminando y pensando, lo que hizo el mundo?
inundaciones,incendios, violencia ....
¿Qué pasó con el hombre? Los medios de comunicación opera
Somos vulnerables y cambiante como el viento
Somos fugitivos eterna...
Oscilan entre el querer, entre el bien y el mal
cada día el cambio prometido
Pero el primer viento de la tentación
que son arrancadas de nuestros objetivos
Dividido y herido
dupe åre la opinión pública
Nos están impulsados por las actuales
ensayos de fuego
Y los medios de comunicación
Jugamos contra uno al otro
Todo lo que es sagrado
en un momento caer al suelo
Así olvidar nuestras raíces
de profundas convicciones
Nuestra Fe y de adultos
de los compromisos
ante Dios y los hombres
No dejes que el viento lleva
Sea firme como una roca
Mira el mundo a través de los ojos del corazón
No sólo hablar del dolor
hablar de amor, de esperanza de paz

Comment by Clicia Pavan on February 17, 2009 at 2:04pm: I see a newspaper every day that passes and cedinho
Today I was walking and I was thinking, what did the world?
floods, fires, violence ....
What happened to man? The media operates
We are vulnerable and changeable as the wind
We are eternal fugitives ...
Oscillate between wanting, between good and evil
every day promised change
But the first wind of temptation
we are torn from our goals
Divided and bruised
are dupe public opinion
We are driven by current
fiery trials of
And the media
We played against each other
All that is sacred in a moment fall to the ground
Well forget our roots
of deep convictions
Our Faith and adult
of commitments
before God and men
Do not Let the wind take you
Be firm as a rock
Look at the world through the eyes of the heart
Do not talk only of the pain, talk of love, peace of hope

Comment by Larry on February 16, 2009 at 4:58am: Give me wisdom over knowledge any day! Give me the ability to appreciate this world we're in, to understand my fellow human beings and be able to help them in concrete ways, to be able to give and receive and live and love. I know plenty of people who are incredibly book smart, but who don't feel life because they're always too busy analyzing it and trying to find purposes and reasons. This kind of approach is important to us as a species, but in balance with other approaches, with other views.

If I'm wise, I won't worry about growing old, for I know that there's a time for everything. I won't worry about whether someone likes me or not, for I know that all things can't be. I won't worry about the things that I don't have, for not having them diminishes me not one bit. I won't worry about the future and regret the past, for I know that only the present moment truly matters, for it's all that we can live.

If I'm wise, I will keep my eyes open and notice things that other people pass by or dismiss as trivial. I will stop and smell the flowers and marvel at the snow and ice. I will give of myself as much as I can, knowing that in giving comes our true growth. I will be grateful for each new day of life that I receive, for I know that each day is a gift, and it's up to me to make something of that gift.

I would truly regret going through life without seeing "the beauty, the dignity, and the value of life." It would be like paying for a first-class ticket on a long flight and spending the entire trip standing in the aisle in coach. Let me be wise! Let me see, and feel, and love. Knowledge helps me in my job and in conversations with others, but wisdom helps me to live

Comment by Clicia Pavan on February 15, 2009 at 5:41pm: Happy Valentine's Day I am a widow 3 years
I felt loved
If you lose the one hand
God gives you on the other hand
Got flowers for my two children
And my friends
about 300 card
Happy Valentine's Day
Thanks God

Friend is
More than a hand extended
more than a smile
more than the joy of sharing
More than dream the same dream
pain or hurt them
much more than the
silence that speaks
or the silent voice that
to hear is,friendship,food
we satiates the soul
and is offered by someone
who believes in us
Clicia Pavan

Feliz Día de San Valentín
Soy una viuda de 3 años
Me sentí amado
Si pierde una parte
Dios te da por otro lado
¿Tienes flores para mis dos hijos
Y mis amigos
cerca de 300 tarjetas
de Feliz Día de San Valentín
Gracias a Dios

Amigo es
Más de una mano extendida
más de una sonrisa
más de la alegría de compartir
Más de soñar el mismo sueño
dolor o con lastimarlos
mucho más que la
silencio que habla
o la voz silenciosa que
es para escuchar
la amistad, la alimentación
satiates que el alma
y es ofrecido por alguien
que cree en nosotros

Only when this inner still
descends upon my soul
can I hear the world weep
for all its children’s pain.
