The weight of a snowflake - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Tell me the weight of a snowflake, a coalmouse asked a wild dove. 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 didnt 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 branchnothing more than nothing as you say the branch broke off. Having said that, the coalmouse ran away. The dove, since Noahs time an authority on peace, thought about the story for a while. Finally, she said to herself, Perhaps there is only one persons voice lacking for peace to come to the world. I found this beautiful story in Synchronicity by Joseph Jaworski. Thanks for visiting my blog. If you're new here, you should check out this list of my 10 most popular articles.
