"...to the child from whom this grown-up grew"

...read the dedication in The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. I can't think of a better way to dedicate such a gem of a story. I read the story from the context of a misunderstood child, or an adult with nonconformist views. That is the reason I adore The Little Prince, and it is from this paradigm that I begin my blogging!


While writing my first post, my mind is begging to throw some ideas, drop some names, twist some floating fibers of thought into threads of ideas and maybe weave them into a heel-reinforced athletic gym sock or other fiber-based garment. My Facebook friends (at least those who haven't blocked my posts yet) will be relieved to notice that my ideas, revelations, comparisons, theories and Eureka moments of any sort will snub FB, instead showing up here to Blogger, since I can't think of anything more irking than a blogger blogging on a non-blogging website; except perhaps overly-posted  FarmVille updates, overuse of the 'relationship status' feature, or overuse of the 'poke' feature accompanied by non-use of the 'send email' feature, just to name a few. Point being, a bloggers home is on a blogging website, such as Blogger where I plan on blogging my blog.


May I post a dialogue from The Little Prince:

"The men where you live," said the little prince, "raise five thousand roses in the same garden--and they do not find in it what they are looking for."
"They do not find it," I replied.
"And yet what they are looking for could be found in one single rose, or in a little water."
"Yes, that is true," I said.
