the peace tree

 

Did you ever play "I Spy..." as a little kid? 

I spy with my little eye a peace sign. 

Do you see it? (It's upside down). To me it's pretty cool that for 3/4 of the year this tree is covered with leaves and you don't realize the peace sign is there. Once the tree drops its leaves and autumn frames it with its glorious colors, the tree proclaims "peace" for those who want to see it.

This goes to show you that peace can be found in unexpected places. We must nurture its presence - seek it, recognize it, allow it, and share it.
