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 December 31, 2010 at 10:16pm: It's time to say peace
Clicia Pavan
When the wind dry the tears
of mothers Who lost children in wars
and violence without blaming payable

When the sun warm the cold of tired souls
who have lost hope to fight
Without words or poems

A new day is born
And like the phoenix in the ashes reborn world ...
"Because the man understand
That he is not God "

The sea will sing the song of the waves
lips will bring a smile of peace
We will then all equal
no waiting or weariness
We will be human

The world will know
Well, come from within each individual
To promote unity
Until a people
A multicolored people
united by the same ideal
Holding hands
All with one voice

They sing
Justice, equality, love
We are all brothers
We are all equal
We are children of the Earth
Sun, water, air
We are all pilgrims
For this earth to travel
With a mission to promote peace
Peace on earth to men of good will

Clicia Pavan
A small people
Wanting to give the hands a humanity
A people who believe in God and in humanity
Who dreams of a world without fear
violence and hunger
Come and give me your hand, together
we are a force called love and brotherhood
Come on, do not be afraid of change --
Do not sit with violence, hunger and pain
Hold the hand of his friend ----
tell your neighbor, your brother
Only you can change the world

Un deseo de paz
Clicia Pavan
Un pueblo pequeño
Queriendo dar a las manos de una humanidad
Un pueblo que cree en Dios y en la humanidad
Que sueña con un mundo sin miedo
la violencia y el hambre
Ven y dame tu mano, junto
somos una fuerza llamada amor y la fraternidad
Vamos, no tengas miedo del cambio -
No se siente con la violencia, el hambre y el dolor
Mantenga la mano de su amigo ----
dígale a su vecino, su hermano
Sólo tú puedes cambiar el mundo

Comment by Clicia Pavan on December 25, 2010 at 4:47pm: Gandhi sought to break the cycle of violence and reprisal. What distinguishes us from the beasts, he said, is our continuing commitment to moral development. Gandhi said that humanity is at a crossroads and must choose between violence (the law of the jungle) and non-violence (the law of humanity).
Where it takes courage to turn evil into good. Now is the time for each of us to manifest his courage: the courage of nonviolence, courage dialogue, the courage to hear what we do not want to listen, the courage to restrain the desire for revenge and to be guided by reason.
Peace to the world, the Middle East Peace
