FOLLOW THE WHISPER!
By Anita Mondragon
Years ago, during one of my many rebellious times, while at work one day, I became momentarily distracted by something just outside my window. As I watched, the cotton from a grove of Cotton Wood trees floated gently through the air. You could faintly hear the quiet motion of the leaves rustling softly in the warm breeze. It was a beautiful sight! So calm and serene.

PEACE…PEACE! WONDERFUL PEACE!
