[Thespiritexpress] one more voice

[Carlie Abbott]

How many times do we wonder how can my one voice make a difference?  
Last night I was referred to this poem.

With love,......Carlie


‘Tell me the Weight of a Snowflake’ from /New Fables, Thus Spoke the 
Marabou  — /by Kurt Kauter.

“Tell me the weight of a snowflake,” a coal-mouse asked a wild dove.

“Nothing more than nothing,” was the answer.

“In that case, I must tell you a marvellous 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 a blizzard –no, just like in a dream, without a wound 
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 a while and finally said to herself, “Perhaps there is 
only one person’s voice lacking for peace to come to the world.”
