Innocent eyes

 

Hello my little friend. How are you doing? What are you thinking right now? Do you have enough freedom to play with your siblings and your mom? Are you allowed to live where you want to or are you expelled from time to time? Can you grow up in safety so that you too can one day start a family? Have we humans ever wondered how you feel and what your feelings are? You are such a wonderful creature equipped with senses that we humans are far from having. Sometimes I have the impression that we humans hardly know let alone feel what you and your fellow species really need. Nature seems to have degenerated into a self-service shop where you can take whatever you want. Unfortunately, I see so many people in the place where you live who pass by carelessly and without respect for you and your little family, without taking you and your needs into account. Have we completely lost the connection to creation?

 

With all my heart I wish you a good and beautiful life my little friend. Take good care of yourself and be very careful when it comes to people. I am so sorry for that. I hug you, I love your warm and clever nature.

These short moments with you were so precious to me and I was the happiest person in the world during this time.

 

“So diverse are the wonders of creation that this beauty will never end. Creation is here. It is in you right now, always has been. The world is a wonder. The world is magic. The world is love and it is here, now.”

...then the fox fell silent and looked at the little prince for a long time:

 

– »Please… tame me!«, he said.

"I'd like to do that," answered the little prince, "but I don't have much time. I have to make friends and learn many things.«

"One only understands things that one tames," said the fox. »People no longer have time to get to know something. They buy everything ready-made in the shops. But since there are no shops for friends, people no longer have friends. If you want a friend, tame me!”

"What do I have to do?" said the little prince.

- "You must be very patient," answered the fox. “You will first sit on the grass a little distance from me. I'll look at you out of the corner of my eye and you'll be silent. Language is a great source of misunderstandings. But every day you sit a little closer..."
