Since I already typed the whole thing out for my dear cell girls, i might as well paste it here too!

Here’s a story about 2 artists who were supposed to paint a picture signifying their individual concepts of peace.


The first artist pulled on his boots and hiked into the Rockies outside Winter Park, Colorado. Several miles beyond the nearest ski lift, he erected his easel besides a secluded lake known only to locals. Poised in this Hallmark-card perfect setting, he filled his canvas with the lacelike haze of early morning as it dissolved before the first golden rays of daylight. The brilliant greens of the towering pines were so vivid in the painting that the artist’s oils seemed to smell of the forest. An eagle floated lazily across the sky, its image reflected in the mirror of the lake’s still surface. It was the kind of picture you’d expect to see on a greeting card, or on the cover of your magazine.


The second artist applied for press credentials, hopped on a red eyed flight for the war torn Middle East, and set up his easel near the gutted building that served as headquarters of the terrorist Palestine Liberation Organisation. Shielded by a heap of bricks and twisted girders, the artist filled his canvas with a fiery maelstrom as violent as that which fell from the bombers overhead. Rockets cut a swath of destruction across the painting- so lifelike that the explosion and screams seemed to roar with each stroke of his brush. But then, there, just outside the ruins, in the crook of a little bent tree was a bird resting atop a nest of eggs. Seemingly insulated from the chaos all about, it sat with its tiny head tucked serenely beneath its wing.

Which artist captured the concept of genuine peace?
