A Tale For All Seasons
by Kurt Kauter
"Tell me the weight of a snowflake," a cola-mouse asked a wild dove.
"Nothing more than nothing," was the answer.
"In that case, I must tell you a marvelous story," the coal-mouse said.
"I sat on the branch of a fir, close to its trunk, when it began to snow-not heavily, not in a raging blizzard-no, just like a dream, without a sound and without any violence. Since I did not have anything better to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my branch. Their number was exactly 3,741,952. When the 3,741,953rd dropped onto the branch, nothing more than nothing, as you say-the branch broke off."
Having said that, the coal-mouse flew away.
The dove, since Noah's time an authority on the matter, thought about the story for awhile, and finally said to herself, "Perhaps there is only one person's voice lacking for peace to come to the world."

Be the change you want to see in the world so goes my favorite quote. Tough, idealistic, eyebrow-raising...maybe. But have great faith and a great deal of conviction, it can be done. Little things that matter, little things that can help our house, our office, our school, our community become a better place to live in will surely inspire others to do the same things. What goes around, comes around. Let's take this positively too. :)
I love this song, All You Need is Love. When love abounds, peace reigns.

I love the story...and the quote and music. But, the story appeals to me most. Thank you for sharing it. I hope that your days are filled with peace and that you are the change you want to see in the world.
Peace be always with you!
oo nga, e. read in a bo sanchez book, to make the philippines a first world country, we have to be first world citizens first.
Hey, nice analogy Lynn! It tells us that even one person in a whole community can make the difference in making peace. =)
Hmm... with bloggers' combined efforts of promoting the idea of peace, I'm sure it will inspire a lot of people in achieving world peace. =)
Happy Peace Day!
Love your Globe, but it was the tale that caught my attention... it sums it all up, doesn't it!
Peace to you and yours, now and always
