Reflexions



I read this last night at bedtime story, and I thought you might like to hear it too. Be patient! The English translation quickly follows the French text. We are reading Le Petit Prince in the original French. The author is Antoine de Saint Exupery.


--Adieu, dit le renard. Voici mon secret. Il est tres simple: one ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
--L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux, repeta le Petit Prince, afin de se souvenir.
--C'est le temps que tu as perdu pour ta rose qui fait ta rose si importante.
--C'est le temps que j'ai perdu pour ma rose...., fit le Petit Prince, afin de se souvenir.


 Goodbye, said the fox. Here is my secret. It is very simple: one sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.
- The essential is invisible to the eyes, the Little Prince repeated, to remember.
- This is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.
- This is the time I have wasted for my rose ...., said the Little Prince to remember.


Namaste,
