The heart of Lebanon is shown through its artists and its people...

"All of a sudden two other sparrows came sailing from the sky, and they sat quietly beside the restless two. And there was calm, and there was peace...And if the upper air makes peace it seems to me that those who dwell in the lower might make peace also. Will you not wave in the wind a little nearer to me?"                          - From Peace Contagious by Khalil Gibran

“Love integrates. Hatred disintegrates…Which would you: Love and be at everlasting peace? Or hate and be at everlasting war?”                                              - From The Book of Mirdad by Mikhail Naimy

...Share the best of your Lebanon with all on our blog.

Scenes from the Cedars Revolution of 2005.  It was an ongoing, non-violent event in which the largest percentage of any nation's population had ever participated in.
