Reseña

“Do you want to see clearly? Look with your heart. What is essential is invisible to your eyes.”
“Do you want to see clearly? Look with your heart. What is essential is invisible to your eyes.”
In a quiet park at dusk, as I walk, a bright light suddenly appears. As I approach, I see a being—like a light—watching me with curiosity.
It explains that it is visiting. It asks if I could guide it to better understand humanity. It was very kind, and I did not feel afraid.
We sit down in the park. I felt a deep desire to speak that afternoon, from the depths of my being.
I sensed in it a mixture of sadness for the arduous struggles for freedom on this planet. “Here on Earth, I see that you are still searching for that connection,” it told me, with a note of melancholy in its luminous voice. “But do not give up. The potential is within you.”
For those who seek depth, the book becomes an explicit interpretation of The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince).
