World Healing
Ever wanted to heal the world? Then try this ….
One lazy Sunday afternoon a businessman was hard at work entertaining a business client at home.
The businessman had a young son of about six years old called David who kept disturbing the proceedings. David was bored. It was raining. Mum was out. His best friend had flu. He hoped that Daddy and his friend might like to play a game of something either now, soon, or some time later (like in two or three minutes).
Each time David came into the room his father gave him something from the table to go away and play with: first a pen, then a calculator, then a paperweight and then a Financial Times.
Finally, David was reprimanded. A little while later David was back again, and this time, his father was prepared. On the table was a large full-colour picture of the world carefully torn into a hundred small pieces.
He gave David a roll of sticky tape and asked him to play with the world until he had stuck it all back together again. That, surely, was the end of David! Much to his father’s astonishment, David returned after about five minutes with the picture of the world complete again. "How did you manage that so quickly, and so well?" asked his father. David replied, "Oh, on the back of the picture of the world I had already drawn a big picture of myself, and when I put myself together the world came together also."
