peace of wild things
by blackgoldfish
"when despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds."

Apple Buys Their Very Own Maps Company (See Ya, Google Maps) - placebase - Gizmodo
by sbrothier
The Apple/Google divorce continues to come into focus: Apple quietly bought Placebase, a mapping service company, back in July. Apple doesn't buy companies it's not going to use. Meaning, Apple's getting into making their own maps. Peace out, Google.

Be Still.
by blackgoldfish

We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no time for stillness — and sitting in front of a frenetic computer all day, and then in front of the hyperactive television, doesn’t count as stillness.
This comes at a cost: we lose that time for contemplation, for observing and listening. We lose peace.

In general, it would be nice to read and see reports from despotic regimes during times of peace, so that we can have a window into their world before the blood spills. (One good example of seeing into the lives of people in a war zone is the "Gaza Sderot" video show that I profiled on MediaShift.)

Say goodbye nicely to peace | Lisa Goldman

On page 30, Elinor Davidov writes about a 40-episode television documentary called Gaza-Sderot, Life in Spite of Everything. Each episode features an interview with an ordinary person on either side of the border, describing daily life. The result is a fascinating combination of drama and banality that makes each episode worth watching. It was co-produced by a staff from Sderot’s Sapir College, Gaza’s Ramattan Studios and the German-French arte.tv (photos and bio blurbs are here).

love & fear
by blackgoldfish
"Deep down, at our core, there are only two emotions: love and fear. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety, and guilt." - David Kessler

Playing for Change: Peace Through Music
by gregg
& 2 others
Le mouvement “Playing for change” veut faire changer le monde en musique, apporter un peu de paix que ce soit en fournissant à des musiciens les outils pour exercer leur art ou en ouvrant des écoles à travers le monde. Ils ont eu la bonne idée d’en faire un documentaire, et l’encore meilleure idée de faire jouer des morceaux par des groupes à travers le monde, chacun ajoutant sa touche au fur et à mesure.
Peace in the Middle East - Change.org: Gaza Sderot: Short Films From Both Sides of the Border

A German television studio has produced a series of two minute videos from Gaza and Sderot, an Israeli city neighboring Gaza. The clips reveal what the news cameras do not: snapshots of daily life. It's an amazing behind the scenes look at the individuals behind the labels of "Israeli" or "Palestinian."
