“What is essential is invisible to the eyes.”
— The Little Prince
The Journey
“All grown-ups were once children.”
Walking in a straight line never gets you very far.
“You become responsible for what you love.”
On his journey the little prince meets many people who have lost the sense of wonder. Their routines and numbers hide what is truly important: relationships, care, and imagination.
He learns that kindness is an action more than a word. Caring for a rose, tending a friendship, or returning to someone who needs you are the small things that give life meaning.
The desert and the stars teach him to listen with the heart. Sometimes silence says more than a thousand explanations; sometimes looking is an act of faith.
