ADVENT THOUGHT ...
DOES WHAT I DO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?
"Tell me, what does a snowflake weigh?" said the song
thrush to the pigeon.
"Next to nothing," was the reply.
"In that case, I have a wondrous story to tell you," said
the song thrush. "I was sitting on the branch of a fir tree
one day, quite close to the trunk, when it began to snow.
It didn't fall violently like in a wild storm, no... but rather
as in a dream, soundlessly and weightlessly. Since I had
nothing better to do, I counted the snowflakes which
came to rest on the twigs and needles of my branch.
There were exactly 3,741,952 of them. When the three
million, seven hundred and forty one thousand, nine
hundred and fifty third flake fell — as you say, a mere
nothing — the branch broke." And so saying, she flew
off.
The pigeon, a specialist in such questions since way
back when Noah built his ark, reflected briefly, and then
said to herself, "Perhaps it would only take a single extra
person's voice for there to be peace on earth."
