Wage peace
I couldn't help myself. I am appalled at what is being done in our name in Iraq, every day another horror story.
It is a poem called:
THE WEIGHT OF A SNOWFLAKE
Just thought this might spark a few fence sitters. Surely goodness and mercy.....
Please take a moment to read the story, it speaks to the christ in all of us.
The Weight of a Snowflake
"Tell me the weight of a snowflake," a coalmouse asked a wilddove.
"Nothing more than nothing," the dove answered.
"In that case I must tell you a marvelous story," the coalmouse
said. "I sat on a fir branch close to the trunk when it began to
snow. Not heavily, not in a raging blizzard. No, just like in a dream,
without any violence at all. Since I didn't have anything better to do,
I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my
branch. Their number was exactly 3,471,952. When the next snowflake
dropped onto the branch--nothing more than nothing--as you say--the
branch broke off."
Having said that, the coalmouse ran away.
The dove, since Noah's time an authority on peace, thought about
the story for a while. Finally, she said to herself, "Perhaps there is
only one person's voice lacking for peace to come to the world."
