"Tell me the weight of a snowflake," a sparrow asked a wild dove.
"Nothing." was the answer.
"In that case I must tell you a marvelous story." the sparrow said. "I sat on the branch of a fir when it began to snow. 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 3,741,952. When the next snowflake dropped onto the branch...weighing nothing, you say...the branch broke."
Having said that, the sparrow flew off.
The dove thought about the story for awhile and finally said to herself:
"Perhaps
there is only one person's voice
lacking for peace to come about in the world."
...have had these thoughts for years now...
...not sure of the original source...
...but welcome and needed words at this point in time for us all...
