Dona Nobis Pacem



Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon.  A happiness weapon.  A beauty bomb.  And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one.  It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air.  Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas.  And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight.  Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in.  With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest.  And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.

  7. How could you not smile when a box of crayons parachuted down into your hands. The Ghandi quote is good too.

  10. Beautiful peace message. That would be much more appealing than these other horrifying bombs. What a coincidence that both of us quoted Robert Fulghum. Have a wonderful weekend, Nessa :).
