This story uses the analogy of the prayer and the snowflake to point out what each can do when put together
The snowflake and the prayer
God gave us the snowflake to show us what snowflakes' can do when they stick together. A snowflake alone is a pretty sight, When combined with other flakes we see magnificence. Prayer alone provides peace and possibility, and when prayers are made together in unison for the same purpose, the world moves closer to bringing what was prayed for into being. The snowflake is soft and fragile, yet in the right environment it gets strong and survives where we cannot. The prayer, like the snow flake starts out soft, and like the snowflake, given the right environment,it gets as solid as a rock and withstands adversity. One can only imagine the what the power of a unified worldwide prayer can do. When all mankind is united then we will have heaven on earth for everyone.
what a beautiful analogy this is! Praying with another person is very strengthening and encouraging; I wish I had more opportunities for united prayer. "Where 2 or 3 are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." Nothing like it.
After reading this, I will think of snowflakes as prayers and remember your words. I agree with Joanna about the line she quoted.

Somehow, I missed this poem the last time that I was on your site. This is a beautiful poem. I love these words: "The snowflake is soft and fragile, yet in the right environment it gets strong and survives where we cannot."
The problem with your snow-flakes not getting together is perhaps caused by the global warming by the muslim extremism that praise themselves of praying five times a day and then go cominting atrocities.(They have devaluated the worth of the prayer)
No wonder God isn't pleased with His children.

Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
