You may say I'm a dreamer. or what kind of iPeace we want.





I received a message from Stephanie:

David
If anyone is on our minds these days.....guess who it is.
Why don't you keep an online journal to let us know how YOU are doing.
We are all curious to know. You work miracles, keep us going and growing.
And you??
Hmm..

Why not? 85 messages in iPeace and same amount of emails can wait.


First, I am tired, very tired. I have been working 16 hours days since the beginning of the Gaza war trying to keep the iPeace space, free as it is, under some sort of control.
I feel and understand the pain, anger, shock and horror that bring many of us to express themselves. Yet at the same time we need to set guidelines to keep iPeace a place of peace.

I am very sad and frustrated because of this futile war. I say futile because it will not bring peace. It will bring more hate, lifelong pain and despair. It will bring more distrust and fear. And if we let it, it will kill hope.

I am also angry because I see iPeace being exploited by hate mongers, racists and propaganda peddlers. I spend hours on end reading blogs, discussions and mass messaging. Among words of encouragement, unity and warmth, I also find a lot of manipulation, half truths, hate and outright lies. The war on public awareness is been battled in iPeace. The victims of this war are all of us, especially those who don't know the elusive facts of this 100 year old conflict.

This war is futile too, because hating Israel or the Hamas more will not bring peace or justice, nor will it bring back the dead. There is only one way, the peace way, iPeace way. I have no doubt that our way will prevail.

I feel hope when I read the correspondence between Majed, who is trapped in bombarded Gaza to Myron, an Israeli who lives in a settlement in the west bank. I know that they are also talking on the phone. Any member who takes part of this thread can feel the power of the friendship being formed. It's a friendship stronger than any dividing wall. This makes me feel accomplished. We made it possible.

My heart sings when I read your poetry, look at your visual art, listen to your music, see you forming new friendships and celebrating diversity. We are almost 15,000 today, we come from over 180 countries, we own the culture of the world and we believe in our power to effect change.


What comments you write on my page fills me with energy every day. Here's a little sample:

Bruce
David -- I've been thinking about you -- often. I was just now noting that iPeace is up past 14,000 members now. You have touched a nerve, and are convening a lot of hope. We all owe you a lot of thanks -- I hope you can feel that, because I know that thousands of people appreciate what you have done, and the way you have done it.

Caithleen
David, Thankyou for your tireless efforts. Inspirational. At times the path seems tough and fruitless, but not hard compared to those brothers and sisters suffering. We must continue to work hard for Peace...we must be supportive and united in our efforts. So much good will and intentions...how can we truly harness this energy to make a difference....now? It is urgent.

Ruach
David, the warmest of heart wishes to you pre - iPeace day.

So many people have told me how deeply iPeace has changed their lives, how much respect they feel present here. How empowering it is. How unique it is. Read the comment on my page from Douglas. These are difficult times. Like the roots of a tree... stay firm in your vision.



With all the pain we feel today and will probably feel in the coming days, we must keep iPeace peaceful and resent anyone who tries to spoil it.

This is your iPeace. This is what you wrote about it:

Paul
iPeace is a new borderless movement of peaceful and nonviolent people united by and advocating the common humanity of all mankind.

Sheila
iPeace is an open channel for communication. iPeace is the opposite of isolation, fear and ignorance.
iPeace is inspiration. Coming from a region, where mistrust prevails, there are often moments of no hope, no faith, no optimism. iPeace is like a torch I want to make burn as brightly as possible - a torch that reflects love, respect, hope, acceptance, giving ... and peace on earth. The more we work together the brighter the light will be to hand over to future generations.

Tony
It reaches to the depth of my soul , in poetry, i can convey my inner spirit , my tears , iPeace set me free , gave me love and friends united in one , a bond of love and mutual understanding.


Bruce
iPeace is a vibrantly alive creative hub of caring passionate people from everywhere, with computer skills, education, and vision. The world urgently needs creative approaches to its ancient problems, and the international energy of this place is exciting, potent, and capable.

Rúach
iPeace what does it mean to me: to me it means there is love, giving, receiving, peace, happiness in the world. We should to thrive for all iPeace stands for if we are go on living in harmony. I love you all.

I find myself dropping into iPeace for a bit of tranquility. I love the connection and communication between friends and the respect that is woven into the very fabric that holds iPeace together.

Stephanie
iPeace means that all of a sudden, it is actually possible that one can feel connected as human beings, different races, religions, all drawn towards one peaceful word: PEACE. The opportunity to speak our voice, united, peacefully, towards one goal, that in getting along, in a world that was, most likely, meant to be lived in just this way.

Anna
iPeace is my harbor in good and bad times

Robby
iPeace is the new building blocks for a better place
'BUILD and they will COME' ...

Paula
iPeace is a meeting place for people of goodwill.

Chenae
iPeace to me is Sanctuary. There are many threads in this Tapestry of Vision. The Vision is one of Interconnection and Peace. Sanctuary is sacred space; we are building that place of refugee and renewal in this strange new medium.

Jenn
iPeace for me started from one self to the other with tolerances and affections.
Being compassionate and total understandings in each cause so as the effects.
iPeace is a new modern and intelligent way to connect the world without boundaries to share and observe opinions towards whats happening to the world today. It is an active electronic blood stem working towards a common vision for world PEACE for all living beings.

Dirk
iPeace stands for me as my and everybody's loving "I.nmost P.ersonal E.ndeavor for A.uthenticity, C.ontenance and E.mpathy" in the world....
Pure intellectual knowledge without the global wisdom of our HEARTS and our SOULS is a "dead end".

Elyah
iPeace is a refuge from the storm,
from the madness in this world,
It's a place to call home.
a place for hearts to reach each other,
reconnect,inspire,share love
and work together.
One dream,one heart,one world!!!

Dann
iPeace, for me, is an avenue in which we all can stroll down and speak to our fellow man the message we all so desperately need to hear. It is the valley that streams our beacons of Light from we who are 'LightHouse's'. Spreading overstanding of what must be and be heard. "YOU" are the 'i' in iPeace.

Nadim
Unlike those social networks which expose the baser side of human nature, iPeace is a shining light for human nobility. iPeace reflects the universal desire for peace and brotherhood.

Robby
iPeace brought a rush of fears
until I saw they were mine
I dug and soared the iPeace fields
And found this place Divine

There's not a word or vision of
that doesn't show concern
for all the corners of the earth
The journeys we have learned

I know I'm safe I feel it so
no harshness this I know
This peace I embrace in cyber space
A place I can call home..


David
The Secret of Peace

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

Paula
Peace is a quiet place in our minds where there is no war or greed or poverty or cruelty...the important thing is to make that quiet place reality, and not only a utopian idea. I believe it will be possible one day.


Now, is it not our responsibility to keep iPeace peaceful?

I love the ipeace - Here share the same
We are here for the greater good
for a Better World
I leave a message
Their sufferings are not the greatest
There is hunger in the world, inequality, injustice
Quit within you and who offers a flower
Open your heart, share with the world your love
Do not judge without knowing,
We are dragged by the current
the fiery trial
And the media
We played against each other
All that is a sacred moment falls by land
Well forget our roots
of deep convictions
Our Faith and adult commitments
before God and men
We will fight to have a better world
Let's be fair,
Peace begins within you
Let's help because we are human
No matter who is the tibet
Africa Israel or other Palestinian people
No matter the religion, color
It is that the world needs love and peace
Let's take a word of hope
we will kill the hunger of who is hungry
Is the least we can do
for us and our brothers
Because despite the differences we are all equal
because we are children of the same Father God ---
Centella is a light -
illuminating the darkness
I leave my peace

Adoro o ipeace-
Aqui comungamos a mesma coisa
Estamos aqui por um bem maior
por um mundo Melhor
Deixo uma mensagem
Não são os seus sofrimentos os maiores
Existe fome no mundo, desigualdades, injustiça
Saia de dentro de você e como quem oferece uma flor
Abra seu coração, partilhe com o mundo o seu amor
Não julgue sem saber,
Somos arrastados pela corrente
impetuosa dos julgamentos
E dos meios de comunicação
Somos jogados uns contra os outros
Tudo que é sagrado num instante cai por terra
Pois esquecemos nossas raízes
das convicções profundas
Nossa Fé adulta e dos compromissos assumidos
perante Deus e os homens
Vamos lutar para termos um mundo melhor
Vamos ser justos,
A Paz começa dentro de você
Vamos ajudar porque somos humanos
Não importa que seja o tibete
A africa Israel ou palestina outro povo
Não importa a religião,a cor
Importa é que o mundo precisa de amor e paz
Vamos levar uma palavra de esperança
vamos matar a fome de quem tem fome
È o minimo que podemos fazer
por nós e pelo nossos irmãos
Pois apesar das diferenças somos todos iguais
pois somos filhos do mesmo Pai ---Deus
Seja uma centella de luz
iluminando a escuridão
Deixo minha paz

Me encanta el ipeace --
Aquí compartimos la misma
Estamos aquí para el bien
para un mundo mejor
Les dejo un mensaje
Sus sufrimientos no son la mayor
Hay hambre en el mundo, la desigualdad, la injusticia
Salir de dentro de ti y que ofrezca una flor
Abre tu corazón, compartir con el mundo tu amor
No juzgar sin saber,
Somos arrastrados por la corriente
la prueba de fuego
Y los medios de comunicación
Jugamos contra uno al otro
Todo lo que es un momento sagrado cae por tierra
Así olvidar nuestras raíces
de profundas convicciones
Nuestra Fe y adultos compromisos
ante Dios y los hombres
Vamos a luchar para tener un mundo mejor
Vamos a ser justos,
La paz comienza dentro de ti
Vamos a ayudar, porque somos humanos
No importa quién es el tibet
África Israel o de otros pueblo palestino
No importa la religión, el color
Es que el mundo necesita amor y la paz
Tomemos una palabra de esperanza
vamos a matar el hambre de quien tiene hambre
Es lo menos que podemos hacer
para nosotros y nuestros hermanos
Porque a pesar de las diferencias todos somos iguales
porque somos hijos del mismo Padre Dios ---
Centella es una luz --
iluminando la oscuridad
Les dejo mi paz
Clicia Pavan

I love the ipeace --
Ici, la même part
Nous sommes ici pour le plus grand bien
pour un monde meilleur
Je laisse un message
Leurs souffrances ne sont pas les plus grands
Il ya la faim dans le monde, l'inégalité, l'injustice
Quittez en vous et qui offre une fleur
Ouvrez votre coeur, de partager avec le monde de votre amour
Ne jugez pas sans savoir,
Nous avons traîné par l'actuel
le procès de feu
Et les médias
Nous avons joué les uns contre les autres
Tout ce qui est un moment sacré tombe par terre
Eh bien oublier nos racines
des convictions profondes
Notre foi des engagements et des adultes
devant Dieu et les hommes
Nous allons nous battre pour un monde meilleur
Soyons juste,
La paix commence en vous
Je l'aide parce que nous sommes de l'homme
Peu importe qui est le tibet
Africa Israel ou autre peuple palestinien
Peu importe la religion, la couleur
C'est que le monde a besoin d'amour et de paix
Prenons un mot d'espoir
nous allons tuer la faim, qui a faim
Est-ce que le moins que nous puissions faire
pour nous et nos frères
Parce que, malgré les différences, nous sommes tous égaux
parce que nous sommes les enfants du même Père, Dieu ---
Centella est la lumière --
éclairage de l'obscurité
Je laisse ma paix
