Our planet now really needs all loving- prayers it can get. Very beautiful project with which I wish to continue with his aims and to bring together many artists.
Behleem, my beloved brother. This project is a beautiful vision to help humanity transform and bring forth a higher expression of itself for the blessing of all life. I am grateful for the gift of your presence on earth and the opportunity to be of service by participating in this vision of love.
Thank for kind response, What ever you doing that really great. Please keep it up. There is so much harassment but you satisfied that you try hard that is your success. God will guide one day. And as like you I am also trying to breathe for peace nothing more. Thank you again. With regard,
Thank you kindly dear brother for your kind word! I am so proud of you Mo and Michele for your great noble mission of Peace you are devotedly committed! I remind you that the Road to Peace is not an easy one. In love of God and Humanity,
Many thanks for your kind words However, I am the one that should thank you for your contribution to Humanity With Peace wishes for you and your Family May all the blessings from the Universe come right on your doorstep. Youre Brother in Genuine Peace and Mutual understanding With fondest of regards,
Dear Behleem, It is I who send my deepest gratitude for your creation of this prayer project. I am looking forward to participating for the next series. Peace and Harmony,
This activist for peace inspires through his music, and what an inspiration it is! Besides the power of his individual pieces, such as the incredible Peace From East, his collaborations with others from around the world show the beauty and true harmony that can be achieved when people of good will work together.
Brother Behleem’s music inspires us, fills our hearts with love and calls us to go out into a world of strife to share our vision of peace.
Peace is a worthwhile pursuit, no matter how distant it may seem. Your contagious rhythms and arrangements share influences from many genres of music yet you weld them together in the crucible of your creativity to make it all your own. Loved the delicate guitar on “may peace prevail”, and your use of percussion throughout all your songs is very striking. It truly sets your personal imprint upon them! I bid you to stay true to the music and keep it alive!
Beautiful music you make, and what a shining reason for doing it! For PEACE!! The world needs in today… Much love and respect.
Thank you & G’day from Australia where I am at present ….. Many, many congratulations on your work ….. Walk Good ….. with Love & in Peace.
The Universe is surely guiding you on the ultimate mission of all of us to be blessed on this planet – love and peace. Love, joy and peace to you for channeling love not only here on Earth but throughout the Universe.
Dear Ambassador, I am happy to to see that you fill your role of “ambassador” by intermediary one music. I recall you dear word to his heart of our Founding President JP Nouchi : All those that work for peace form a same Spirit, a same Soul, a same Heart, a same Body, a same Universal Family. (Universal Peace Embassy) and this is as well as will be able while broadcasting the peace around oneself to create this magnificent Universal Family. You will have held uniformly projects in course. In all Universal Brotherhood of Peace.
Peace must begin within each of us and flow out from there. You cannot transmit something you haven’t got. A “War on War” will never bring bring Peace, as the wars on Drugs, Poverty and Terror have not ended drug use, poverty or terror. Be only FOR something… God bless this project!
We need to increase the vibration here on earth to help peace become a reality. Thank you for project to increase peace.
Hello Behleem! Nice to meet you, I enjoy your music.

Dear Behleem, Thank you for a beautiful work of collective art.
Wonderful idea and difficult in practice to change many people’s behavior to accept the fact that peace is universal, not limited by race, religion or any particular country.
The project should create a positive environment even if slowly.
Iti s really on the ball. We need more and more to join one another. Go ahead.
We appreciate you Behleem! Love from Zhengzhou, Henan, China,
Oh my Dear Behleem, Your Project is great, I admire you!!!..I hope so many people in the world hear you, hear us in this daily fight to conquer peace.. We are in contact with words and songs are coming from our internal state of Love and Peace to give to others, to ours brothers and sisters during this time we have to live doing our best.. From this distance place with our souls closed in Peace and Love, I send you here new phrase, my friends writers have translated.-
I’m glad to participate this project and I hope its really does work, for a long time. We, I think, sensitive and different people can really improve this world, if we really want.
Innovative Idea
Splendid!!!!!!
May God bless your work by His own way of Leading you to do things according to His great Plan for Man kind.
Wish all the best and peace!
Thanks for the chance to share hope.

AFM of Peace to the Whole World
A New Divine Voice echoes among Humanity
Michele Bodine and Behleem
I received yesterday p.m. a thick package sent express from two angels who live in Hawaii
A number of beautiful musical songs on CDs about world Peace
As I was opening it gently, with a child spirit, who is waiting for big surprise…
Among the selection, my eyes caught a blank silver CD which had nothing written on it… I was puzzled wandering whether anything in there would be recorded… So, I inserted it with curiosity into my stereo expecting rather no words but silence? As I admire this valuable method of prayer used in spiritual ancient way of meditation I let it role for seconds; suddenly, I heard beautiful voices which touched deeply my wounds
Oh! What a wonderful heavenly peace prayer which vibrates every cell of our body!
Oh what gorgeous voices in unison coming softly from two tender hearts!
Instantly, I kneeled down and closed my eyes, with an innocent child’s spirit I put aside all pride, and was in total submission to God’s will, mercy, and love
I always wished to hear or read such a peace prayer which touches the heart of young and old
To be in union in meditation, rather expelled, to discover new peacemakers and heroes
While writing these words, and listening spontaneously to these up-lifting sweet voices
Which give me wings to fly, and enable me to soar really very high in the sky
As a Lost Child echoing in the desert, I follow someone’s footsteps through the Light
To seek healing through these beautiful peace prayers which gently set my soul free
From any pain, heavy burden, burning out from all kind of rejection and suffering
Oh thank you kindly, dear two angels living far away in Hawaii! Your gift to me is very precious more than words can describe my present feeling
Although I have not heard your other three musical CDs, I already know what positive impact will they have on my spirit
As I am looking forward to listen to them when the sun shall rise shortly
Oh! What a joy! What gorgeous heavenly voices and wonderful heavenly music! Thank you for giving mea drop of fresh water as I was strolling in this sterile hot dry desert! You have revived my crashing soul and spirit, and re-energized my wrecked deadly vanishing body!
May the Lord, Allah, bless my dear brother Behleem and my sister Michele
And guide these gifted sweet people and singers in this earthly journey!
To continue opening hearts of the burdened in this humanitarian artistic mission
To shed Light, Love, and Peace in the path of every soul who is in pain and in suffering
And bring healing to Lost Children who are wandering in the desert in despair like me
Oh please continue this beautiful noble peace work! And promise me to never look back where you were before standing still
Keep on going! And never stop! No matter what obstacles you may meet…
Rock and roll! Make every soul dance on this earth to your sweet heavenly music! Bravo to you and all who sow Joy and Peace in the heart of humanity!
From the bottom of my heart, I say thank you to everyone very kindly!
We are proud of all and everyone of you! Please, just keep on rolling stones
And get them away from the victims’ path who suffer so much injustice, and evil wars
May your beautiful heavenly songs give great courage to every thirsty soul!
In their turn, one day, they will sing and share their own beautiful song with the entire world
And pass it on to others like you and many other peacemakers did in the past, are still committed
Oh! Please keep it up, never give up, follow Jeanne-d’Arc’s courage! Please never stop!
For the world is in despair, and needs very badly your noble peace beautiful songs
And young people like you who have so much zest, zeal, and everlasting energy
New ideas and vivid style to add up another nice color to the RAINBOW
One day, in solidarity and in one voice, we’ll turn all world suffering into a beautiful PARADISE!
May our Lord hear our Prayers and Songs, and grant us Joy and Peace now and forever! Amen!

A Letter From Brussels
Tap the image to see it full size
To Behleem Peace Ambassador and Peace Musician Brussels, the 6th July 2008
Dear Behleem,
The presentation of “Dentelle de mirages, Lace of mirages” took place on saturday June seventh 2008, from 5.30 to 7 p.m., in a Greek restaurant (thanks to Efteria and Manuel, natives of Rhodos) situated in the heart of Brussels. Guido Vermeulen, excellent artist and presenter, spoke about mail art and peace & love, and also about my promotion project in favour of a primary school in Guinea-Conakry (Mamorodou) I hope to visit at some future date. He paid homage to Marilyn Dammann (1934-2005) and her ephemeral art manifestations (see the reproduction of a wood engraving of Marilyn on the cover of “Dentelle de mirages”). We successsively recited poems in English, French, Dutch and Spanish. A little girl, Lisa Colinet, gracefully showed mail art works I received from mail artists all over the world. Guido recited the Nenuphar Song you can find in the English and French version inside my last editions. At the end of our poetry recital, we were listening to your CD (Salam, Nenuphar Light). Globally, people found it beautiful and inspiring and appreciated the symbolic and visual interpretations of ideas. A girl friend, Leen Oversteyns, thinks that Nenuphar Light could become a hit and that people assisting to your concerts could sing it together with you. One person was less enthusiastic because he is clung to classic music, but I thinks he could open his hearing sense for your kind of music full of spirituality and commitment in a world of “supreme” technology.
Thanks a lot, Behleem, we were waiting for your new talented creations.
Peace & Love and blessings
We smile with the same expression. We cry with the same tears. Peace for all. - Behleem
