EYELESS IN GAZA/ Cucurrucucu Paloma

to a god whose name i don't really know;
they say love is blind, let me love blindly then
justice is blind, let justice be done then, with compassion and without prejudice or any further shedding of innocent blood.
hatred surely is blind--


there are faces i can't see.
cries i can't hear.
people who are not my people but who nonetheless are suffering, as my people have suffered-- more than i can know.

i was crying for them, i want justice for them. i want ceasefire, moratorium,world humanitarian response to aid the victims, i want truth telling, justice for the crimes against humanity, reconciliation,forgiveness, peace. i want the cult of death and torture to be seen for what it is and i want it to stop!

let us identify among us, call to action, and look to the most wise, loving, patient, intelligent, thick skinned people, peace activists and teachers, counselors and mediators to address this conflict on an immediate and global level, for peace and reconciliation among enemies are now more than ever endangered unto the threat of extinction. the world is mad for war. the sickness of perpetual conflict creates a mass delusion, a global bloodlust, a common belief that too much is never enough.


i pray to good people everywhere and to the angels of the air
that mercy and peace shall descend upon the innocents like the rays of a sheltering sun

a dove's cry for peace in the middle east



and here i found an answer to my prayer:

Cucurrucucu Paloma -cover- Tomas Mendez (Version Castellana)

Cease fire has been announced, read the news. Is it true

I wonder I hope so and I am gladdened of the news. Now people can have respite from the fear n mourn their death

Over 1000. We feel we should together be feeling

content with work done by rising our voices of humans

against the killing of innocent people. Understanding each others humanity is important and language is everywhere in

pictures of happenings to make us Act and do something

for Peace. Be well my friends!

israel has stopped firing on gaza but hamas is still firing rockets into israel, as of the last report i heard. let's keep holding with the international outcry...for peace to prevail, first the violence must stop. this is not only true in the middle east! may violence cease and peace prevail, and may healing begin in all the war and violence torn parts of our planet!

[medicinesocks]

later sunday morning: just read a report that hamas has agreed to cease fire as well, for now. for the people of the region, we in the world who love peace and deplore violence and injustice give thanks for this opportunity to hold out even a little hope, once again, for a peaceful resolution.

If someone patented beauty then you would be plagiarism. This video was really touching.

[r3VOLt23]

Yes well said, we must hope n let our voice be heard

People want the Peace! It is the one on power that are manipulated by bigger power n so on we have all this warmongers pushing the hatred among the nations

n Humans. May Peace stay for all, may we continue to pressure for truth n justice 4 all, so the peaceful coexistence is found. Ta for posting the news.

no, no! thank's for your vídeo my friend! i agree in my favourites.

muchas gracias mi concha! with help, i may improve! but jeepers it's frustrating to have forgotten so much! it is strange how much i can and cannot remember, a veces, of my first language. i lost it completely after we left mexico when i was 5, and it is still a struggle to try to remember and regain so many lost parts of myself... childhood-- the mexico i knew, of half a century past-- seems a million light years away now

por los gritos que no puedo oir, las caras que no puedo ver con mis propios ojos. Porque ellos sufren mucho más de lo que puedo saber.

Otro beso! tu español cada vez mejor!

[medicinesocks]

el dolor que no podemos sentir, de la gente que no es la nuestra, sin embargo es un dolor real. por eso estoy llorando aqui, para los gritos no puedo oir, las caras no puedo mirar con mis ojos mismos. porque ellos sufrian tanto mas que puedo saber.

besisimabrazos! ji ji!
