Reply #9: Cindy Sheehan is a National Treasure!

[ClayZ]

If they can't see it they are blind!

She and Casey will go down in history and my grandchildren will tell their grandchildren her story.

My 11 year old granddaughter wrote letters and postcards to her, stood at vigils holding a sign that said "I stand with CINDY".

The love in ONE mothers heart has changed this world. She personifies this story:


The Weight of a Snowflake

"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 didn't 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 branch--nothing more than nothing -- as you say -- the branch broke off."

Having said that, the coalmouse 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." - Source unknown
