Peace must arise from the ordinary ; love can change the strategies of war & peace

From the hills I play my flute…

I wish for peace & reconciliation

When will the world ever understand?

Peace for the ordinary billions must be loved into passionate existence

by a billion ordinary hearts

From Afghanistan, we thank every individual who is now journeying with us in this heart-storm of love, befriending us at

Is your wish for peace a special or ordinary wish?

Our wish for peace is ordinary because everyone wishes for peace

 

Who is responsible for bringing peace?

We ourselves are responsible for bringing peace.

 

If war breaks out, whose fault is it?

It is our fault because we ourselves should make peace.

 

If governments wage war, we should also temper that.

We the people should temper governments? How?

Yes, that we make peace, as war is futile.

 

Should we wait for elders & leaders to bring peace?

No, we shouldn’t wait…we ordinary people should arise from our own places to bring peace.

 

An Afghan leader had said that he wanted to turn Afg into a river of blood

We the people of Afghanistan want a river of peace

 

We ordinary people should take the course of peace

We should arise from our homes, from the mountains & from the cities

 

Can’t we ordinary people arise & move?

We can and we will arise for peace.

 

Peace, peace…from the bottom of our hearts, peace!

 

From the hills I play my flute…

I wish for peace & reconciliation

When will the world ever understand?

 

We thank those who pray that we’ll have peace

But prayers won’t suffice if one by one, war takes us away from life.

 

Peace for the ordinary billions must be loved into passionate existence by a billion ordinary hearts

 

Even when the cold sets in and ice forms over the rivers,

we ordinary people should arise from our own places to bring peace

arise from our homes, from the mountains & from the cities

 

For if war breaks out, whose fault is it?

Peace, peace…from the bottom of our hearts, peace!

 

Love is how we’ll ask for peace, love that must arise from the ordinary

 

I wish for peace & reconciliation

When will the world ever understand?
