"Tell me the weight of a snowflake," a coal mouse asked a wild dove. "Nothing more than nothing," the dove answered. "In that case I must tell you a marvelous story," the coal mouse 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 didn't have anything better to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my branch. Their number was 3,471,952. When the next snowflake dripped onto the branch - nothing more than nothing - as you say, the branch broke off." Having said that, the coal mouse ran away. The dove, since Noah's time an authority on peace, thought about the story for a while. Finally she said to herself, "Perhaps there is only one person's voice lacking for peace to come to the world."

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

“Nothing more than nothing,” the dove answered.

“In that case I must tell you a marvelous story,” the
coal mouse 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 didn’t have anything better to do, I
counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and
needles of my branch. Their number was 3,471,952.
When the next snowflake dripped onto the branch -
nothing more than nothing – as you say, the branch
broke off.”

Having said that, the coal mouse ran away. The dove,
since Noah’s time an authority on peace, thought about
the story for a while. Finally she said to herself,
“Perhaps there is only one person’s voice lacking for
peace to come to the world.”

Thanks Hannah

Humm…………..seems to me that the “frivolity and fun………” needs to somehow promote peace/pacifism or am I missing the point of “Pacifist Posse”?

There have to be parties. But they have to be "parties" as in frivolity and fun, not as in politics. Certainly! There have to be parties.
