Oh, my darlings – just look what the garden left for me today.
A stargazer wrapped in fullest bloom, bowing humbly before the hope of a brand new day.
“She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me,” writes Antoine de Saint-Exupery. “I ought never to have run away.”
Written in 1943, the story of The Little Prince is still relevant today – and its message, a divinely beautiful one.
That is to say, that the emotions stemming from our innermost conflict – unsettledness, doubt, fear – are alleviated through our interconnectedness.
The story was written in the shadows of war; and was the means by which Saint-Exupery offered peace.
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly,” he explains. “What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
My goodness, imagine all that from the unfurled petals of this stargazer lilly.
