Letter to Antoine, He is alive!
Turning myself as a child I saw him and He explain to me several meanings on that little book…
Warning: this is only to adults, children don’t need explanations.
Most time when we are submerge into our own world, we are not capable to see beyond. Only the one who could see a boa constrictor that had swallowed an elephant are the ones who has enough imagination to follows little prince journeys. There is a collective conscience that upholds all meanings… when your imagination goes on, it touches all life aspects whether you are conscious or not.
When little prince appears he demand a sheep drawing, a sheep in Christian culture is a savior, remember whenever you find yourself into a desert: a problem you may have, a difficulty you are going through, you will need a savior.
But before that, you need to realize humans live in their little own worlds doing what they had learn to do. This way of acting keep them isolated, conformed to the patter of their worlds. If you don’t become as a child you won’t live the heaven which you may find where ever you might be. We also need to go to a world bigger than ours, to meet people, to share those abilities we were born with so on the way we start to cultivate relations that give meaning to our lives.
The boababs trees represent troubles that you have to deal with as soon as you can, otherwise they will grow so big that will cover all your world… this explanation is easy to see but look at this one: the rose in little prince’s planet represented his relation with himself, once he left his planet began his journey to wisdom encountering several people and a true friend who help him to understand himself.
After all little Prince went back reencounter with the rose and came in term with it. Just when Antonie was ready to leave his desert. So there are many secrets... not only the ones revealed by the fox. yet the essencial is invisible to the eye.
