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.

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 else
who believes in us.

My peace

I want to show a little of our work
This text I wrote because I was highly
criticized for helping these people with
AIDS in the world have different war
hunger and prejudice is one
(I do not like to talk about me)
I do not feel the desire ---
I think it help to have a better world
is our obligation as human beings
Do not do propaganda --- excuse me

Posted on my site
Before your question, I give you the answer.
Why help the children of people with AIDS?
I have none of my AIDS patients,
but I have my brothers, children of the same father "God"
Abandoned by our prejudice and neglect.
I can not help much but I can help with drops of love,
drops of the welfare, which is the Gotinha verses of a poem called my life.
I do not want to gain attention and not sell my book, I just want to help my neighbor.
I want the kids have school, health, bread and the right to citizenship.
I want nature to be preserved, I love most in the world.
I think that for you on your pillow
We can understand that we are not better than anyone.
Remamos in the same boat
boat called the struggle for life
If not we will struggle together alone
Let the love flow freely from our hearts
the water that flows into the sea
So overcome all our obstacles

Thanks. In critique, work and do their part

Comment by Wayne Elkin on February 3, 2009 at 10:48pm: I just did a face lift on my iPeace page I believe that we need a dramatic space effort to harvest solar energy. I've talked to a friend in the solar energy buisness and he says something like that would be sexy but we can gather plenty on earth.

I see it built by all the international space agencies including NASA. The spin off would energize the markets. The possibilities envisioned by JFK could be launched with the spirit of Obama. I can see how a huge international challenge could avert a war. This is why a born again space program can be a major shift in stead of a high tech distructive war to get out of a depression. we need a high tech productive and cooperative venture with huge benefits. to get out of a depression. I know alot of my iPeace friends might think space exploitation is the hight of arogant behavior. I can certainly see your point. Think of it as the far lessor of two macho trip evils. My appologies if I put this in the wrong place. I just wanted to clarify my position and invite discussion. Yeah I do dig star treck. Peace and tranquility to all members of iPeace

Comment by Wayne Elkin on February 1, 2009 at 12:35am: Ram Dass has been my favorite pop geru for a long long time. He suffered a stroke which has affected his speach. The slower processing seems to commuicate too deeper places with in. I think Ram Dass expresses the dual nature of Peace in this video congratualating President Obama.

Comment by Clicia Pavan on January 31, 2009 at 8:49pm: May Peace, Ipeace
Here ipeace me and all I can say, because every page,every image, group shows love and unity
Peace is what is in ipeace is an example that the world may be different
All together
Here is the whole world hand in hand forming a chain of love and peace
That is what the world needs, union
(Excuse me my English is bad)

Comment by Clicia Pavan on January 31, 2009 at 3:02pm: The sincere desire
and deep in the heart
is always performed
Talk of peace in times of war
Talk of love in times of trouble
Talk of hope ---
Peace is at the heart of man
Only he can change the world
