Slow and Steady: Stor e Telling October November December 2012

Hare and Tortoise

I have penned the Stor E Telling column since January of 2002 and the articles from 2002-2006 are the publications page of my website found here http://tinyurl.com/llnn47y . I will be adding the columns from 2007 to 2012 to that page as well. However, I am in the process of checking what link URL's have changed or are now defunct. It is a time consuming process so I am taking the “slow and steady” approach via Aesop and will post the individual columns on my blog for now.

I will not be adding current columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the newest websites, consider becoming a member of the National Storytelling Network. Please feel free to comment on the blog and let me know if you find this useful.

The Weight of a Snowflake

The Princess and the Dove
by
Edmund Dulac, 1922

To all of my family, friends and colleagues near and far, thank you for enriching my life. I wish you all light, love and a very joyous holiday.

I offer you a story for the season; may it guide our paths in the coming year.

The Weight of a Snowflake
~ Anon

"Tell me the weight of a snowflake." A mouse asked a wild dove. 

"Nothing more than nothing," the dove answered. 

"In that case I must tell you a marvelous story," the mouse said. "I sat on the branch of a fir, close to its trunk, when it began to snow, not heavily, not a raging blizzard, no just like in a dream without any violence. Since I had time, I counted the snowflakes setting on the twigs and needles of my branch. Their number was exactly 3,741,952, when the next snowflake dropped onto the branch- "nothing more than nothing" as you say-the branch broke off."

Having said that the mouse went away. 

 

The dove, thought about the meaning of the story for a while and finally said to herself, "Perhaps there is only one person's voice lacking for peace to come about in this world."
