“A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.” ~ Rosabeth Moss Kanter

A Search for Common Ground

There are a lot of people in the world trying to do good in their own small ways. THERE IS HOPE! I am finding more and more how powerful music is, especially and well done music video...As I listen--even if I do not understand the language--I am drawn to the passion, the emotions that the singer and instrumentalists are trying to convey. It is like my soul connects to theirs for a brief moment and I am able to see past our differences and connect with their humanity--to see the world through their eyes.



Search for Common Ground works to transform the way the world deals with conflict - away from adversarial approaches and towards collaborative problem solving. We work with local partners to find culturally appropriate means to strengthen societies' capacity to deal with conflicts constructively: to understand the differences and act on the commonalities. David Broza and Said Murad (two well-known Israeli and Palestinian musicians) wrote the song; it was performed by David Broza and Wisam Murad.
