Oh, for heavens sake, I sent this out without a subject line. Well, here it is again in case anyone is as confused as I am about what I'm doing... :o)
Hello everyone, "It's madness to hate all roses because you got scratched with one thorn, to give up all dreams because one of them didn't come true, to give up all attempts because one of them failed.
It's folly to condemn all your friends because one has betrayed you, to no longer believe in love just because someone was unfaithful or didn't love you back, to throw away all your chances to be happy because something went wrong.
There will always be another opportunity, another friend, another love, a new strength.
For every end, there is always a new beginning.....
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "The Little Prince"
He is, of course, talking about not just interpersonal romantic matters but the true work of the heart in the redemption of humanity. Our ability to honestly connect with our hearts, and to guide our lives from there in all situations, is the 'essential' that he's talking about.
May we sit once more for that astonishingly beautiful self-honesty which connects us to our hearts. May we be gentle with what we find there. May we share the best of what we find there with all.
Thank you all,
Richard
