Greetings.
Hope everyone is doing well and keeping up with what it’s important.
Here are some essential wisdom poems from the collected work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ( from the book: “ A Guide for Grown-ups”).
“ The virtue of a candle lies not in the wax that leaves its trace, but in its light.”
The Wisdom of the Sands
“ One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.”
The Little Prince.
“ The seed haunted by the sun never fails to find its way between the stones in the ground.”
Flight to Arras
“ You will be bothered from time to time by storms, fog, snow. When you are, think of those who went through it before you, and say to yourself, ‘ what they could do, I can do’”
Wind, Sands and Sun
“ A man’s age is something impressive, it’s sums up his life: maturity reached slowly and against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs overcome, and unconscious risks taken; maturity formed through so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves. A man’s age represents a fine cargo of experiences and memories”
