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 Larry on January 24, 2010 at 2:12am: As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.

These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.

Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.

Clicia Pavan
Sometimes I find myself singing,
dreaming of a world
done just for love
I see my dream in the sky,
as fireflies that come
shining breaking veils.

a mild tenderness
the wind swinging the flowers,
that softly speaks to me of love.
Words of peace hope

I feel all the magic of the moment
close my eyes...
a soft scent of jasmine
I feel the presence of God

Un momento hermoso
Clicia Pavan
A veces me encuentro a mí mismo cantando,
soñando con un mundo
hecho solo por amor
Veo mi sueño en el cielo,
como luciérnagas que vienen
brillante velos de última hora.
una ternura suave
el viento balanceando las flores,
que suavemente me habla de amor.
Palabras de esperanza de paz

Siento toda la magia del momento
cerrar los ojos ...
un aroma suave del jazmín
Siento la presencia de Dios

Comment by Clicia Pavan on January 1, 2010 at 2:43pm: Mute your voice
respire profundo
exhale and think
became then the hour of peace
pains were silent
And they heard the voice of angels with wings
The silent voice that sounds in heart
as a song of spring
From the mountains, to all corners of the world
the fullness of God's greatness
Peace on earth to men of good will
God
"He is the essence of life. It is pure and undefiled consciousness."
Only God is great.
God is light, not darkness, God is love, not hate
God is truth, not untruth.
Paz.Paz, Peace, Peace,
When you want to find the truth of God
the only way love is inevitable, that is, non-violence
Mahatma Gandhi

------------------------
Silenciar su voz
Respire profundo
exhala y piensa
luego se convirtió en la hora de la paz
los dolores en silencio
Y oyeron la voz de los ángeles con alas de
La voz silenciosa que suena en el corazón
como una canción de la primavera
Desde las montañas, a todos los rincones del mundo,
de la plenitud de la grandeza de Dios
La Paz en la tierra a los hombres de buena voluntad
Dios
"Él es la esencia de la vida. Es pura y sin mancha la conciencia".
Sólo Dios es grande.
Dios es luz, no la oscuridad, Dios es amor, no de odio
Dios es la verdad, no la mentira.
Paz.Paz, Paz, Paz,
Cuando se quiere encontrar la verdad de Dios
la única forma de amor es inevitable, es decir, la no-violencia
