Slow news day?

Aww, c'mon Jomama. This was the "Harry Potter" of its day.

The book has been translated into more than 180 languages and dialects so far. To date has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. It is one of the top 50 best-selling books.

Have been through about 18 pp of images, and can't find this one without the peak oil ad, but here's one of my favorites

Is that a hat ...or a snake?

^_^

Be Well.

/Spud admires yer dedication. Spud tried finding that one too and couldn't. Kudos.

This one's a very good snake. Clearly St. Exupery was a Dem!

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

That was the note that the fox gave the Little Prince before he left.

Fantastic story. First fell in love with it when I was about 6 years old and saw it on a field trip at the movies.

I got the movie on DVD for my kids this last Christmas. It is their favorite now.

Oh, didn't mean to demean the author. Just always find it suspect when someone "discovers" they did something 60 years after the fact.

Best. Bed-time. Story. EVAR!

Be Well.

Saint-Exupery was more than The Little Prince. For anyone interested in early flight try his other works.

Wind, Sand and Stars
Night Flight
Airman's Odyssey

I wonder how many kids hear that story in their nightmares...

What ridiculous nonsense. Seeing rightly or knowing truth has nothing to do with the heart. If you believe this crock then you would have to believe that what is most real are the things that are not empirically verifiable. If you think the heart is how one sees rightly then you will actually be deluded into believing that a bunch of subjective crutches like: love, friendship, faith, loyalty, the soul, etc have reality.

I will only believe that love or happiness exists when scientists can isolate them in a test tube and measure them. Until then it is all just feel good mumbo jumbo.

The senses are the only arbiter of what is true. Can't we all just live in the real world and accept that our brain chemistry is tricking us into "feeling" things that don't exist? Once we do that then we can begin to eliminate these emotional charades from our lives and get on with living.
