Picturing Peace
This story has been told in many ways:
A contest was held for artists. The winner was supposed to best illustrate "Peace".
The runner-up drew a tranquil countryside filled with lovely flowers.
A babbling brook completed the scene with a few butterflies drifting in the air.
The winner drew sheer rock cliffs with a raging waterfall and river running through.
Out of a small crevice in the rock wall, a twig grew.
At the very end of that twig was a small bird merrily singing.
That bird was at peace.
