i woke up this morning around 5.48 and was not feeling very well. to top it all, i have to go to school today, need to sign something. the thought of that rings a bell to my mind. that bell was Antoine de Saint Exupéry – the wonderful author of The Little Prince.
in his book, Saint Exupéry told how adult are so serious and just serious. it is a wonderful imaginative book and it reminds me – i guess, everybody – to never forget how to be kid.
i was given the book by a great friend of mine around November 2008 and, to be honest, just finished it last week. to be more honest, i cried at the end of the book. somehow i didn’t cry because the little prince had gone, but something was actually missing. i don’t know, the feeling of a great loss of a great friend. and i can probably say, i understand how it feels for the pilot in the story (maybe Saint Exupéry himself) when he lost his dear little prince and how hard it is to write about him.
Saint Exupéry brought a lot of things for me that day i finished that book – nee, those days i was reading that book. he gave me imagination. he taught me to accept a loss, i guess.
in my copy of The Little Prince was written a note from the great friend who gave me it. he told me i introduced him that wonderful book and the little prince. well, i would like to say thanks for giving me the little prince, somewhat was only an imagination to me.
good morning then, L.
n.b. i ‘m still not feeling very well
