The Meaning of Peace There was once a king who offered a prize to the artist who could paint the best picture of peace.Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures, but there were onlytwo that he really liked, and he had to choose between them. Onepicture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for the peacefultowering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy whiteclouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture ofpeace. The second picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in whichlightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foamingwaterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the king looked,he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. Inthe bush a mother bird had built her nest.... a perfect picture of peace. Which of the pictures won the prize? The king chose the secondpicture. Do you know why? "Because," explained the king, "peacedoes not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hardwork. 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." That is theREAL meaning of peace. ~Author Unknown~
