"There
once was a king who offered a prize to the artist
who would paint the best picture of peace. Many
artists tried. The king looked at all the
pictures. But there were only two he really liked,
and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a
perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all
around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy
white clouds. All who saw this picture thought
that it was a perfect
picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains, too. But these
were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from
which rain fell and in which lightning played.
Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming
waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the king looked closely, he saw behind
the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in
the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her
nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry
water, sat the mother bird
on her nest - in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize? The king
chose the second picture. Do you know why?
"Because," explained the king,
"peace does not mean to be in a place where
there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace
means to be in the midst of all those things and
still be calm in your heart. That is the real
meaning of peace."
