Featured Poem	'Have you ever stood still and felt' by Joni Pulido
	Have you ever stood still and felt An overwhelming tenderness A deep sorrow Watching the world as you know it Collapse in one great rubble? Will you feel rage and hatred? Will you feel compassion and care? Will you think how you will make them pay? Will you think how you can help them heal? When you greet fire with fire You make a gigantic ball Until its big enough to topple Everything on its way Have you seen fire greet calm water And meet in tranquillity? The great fire quiets as its passed From one calming presence to another I am not a great hero nor done any great deeds But this much I can be, a bearer of hope To let the pained souls know love is possible And maybe the great ball will quiet as its passed From one loving heart to another Joni Pulido	Some Quick Links * Hot Rage, Dry Blood, Warm Tea by Zaakiy Siddiqui * Peace can be achieved by Amy * IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY by Emily Ann Easton - 18 years old * Peace is not easy to find by Kevin Ronkko * Peace Question 1 by Laurie Phillips * peace be with you by Karen * HEAL THE PAST by Beveridge * Peace is a cuddly teddybear by Eddie * Until by Max Merckenschlager * Let us Save The Planet Earth by Anne Siroun Perry Sourjian * Political Winds by Amber Acker * By the Dawn's Early Light by Amber Acker * THE DIFFERENCE by Suzanne Honour * War is Raw by Joe Fleury * Terror by Ruchi Ahuja * A Healing Prayer by Susan Maree * The Door To Peace Opens Inward by Bob Butler * 911 by Bob Butler * Making Peace by Denise Noblet * Morning Rain by Denise Noblet * Oyate by James m Nordlund * Stretching Forth by Nathifa

Fear You differ from me that is why I despise you. Your skin may be a different colour, your ideology, theology, philosophy or culture do not conform with what I know is the right way. Therefore I have a right to hate you, as I know all my friends and neighbours do. Because you differ from me You cannot feel the pain when you are tortured and you cannot feel despair when your freedom is taken. You are not really a human being at all. But tell me - do you feel fear, real fear when those who are different from you come for you in the early dawn to do what they know is the right thing to do? Because you differ from me I know I fear you. Elke Holt	Prayer for World Leaders Mother-Father God: We ask that all our elected representatives and appointed officials, as well as our business and world leaders be surrounded with and protected by Your Light. We ask that their every thought, word and action come from their Higher Selves and serve the highest good for our country and the world. Acknowledging our oneness with each other and with all creation, we ask this in Your Name. And so it is. Carol Hansen Grey	Australia September 2001 I will never forget that skyline scene and the dawning of the realisation that we are all one world and all involved regardless of geographic location. All around me now people seem lost a frightened, insecure nation Sociologist call this "anomie" a time of disorientation. I still remember "give peace a chance" the cry of my generation Now it’s revenge and "kill them all" Did we fail in our obligation? Will our leaders react with due restraint heard in minor party oration? Or will we forget the cost and regret that we learnt from my dad's generation? We have much to protect, none must deny what has happened since our Federation But how will it seem twenty years down the track will we still have our proud reputation? I feel so ashamed of quick-fix reactions based on votes and media sensation when we need the humane the creative and wise to speak out against mass degradation. There's no easy solution, it’s not black and white but don’t base it on vilification. Don’t abandon the values of love and respect There's no victory in humiliation. L. Armour
