Listen To Life

How are you transforming life?

A journalist was assigned the Lebanon beat.  Walking through the bombed-out streets of Beirut one day, he heard some beautiful music coming from a doorway.  He wandered over to where the music was being played and there saw a young boy playing a flute.  

The music was beautiful, but the flute was the weirdest looking instrument he had ever seen.  He approached the young boy carefully, but the child stopped playing when he saw the journalist.  Then the boy handed the journalist the instrument.

It wasn’t until he closely examined the flute that the journalist understood.  This young Lebanese boy had found in some field a discarded rifle, re-bored holes in its barrel, and transformed a gun into a flute.  The former gun now made beautiful music.
