awesome Sunday

And not because of Superbowl. My day off today, I declared that I would have nothing to do with work, volunteer work included. Sometimes you need to. Not to say I haven't been reading all the coffee blogs (I will spare you that topic).

My reading has been sporadic as things got crazy busy starting in 2010. I have been reading Gilread but haven't gotten around to finishing it (will write about that book later). But I can say picking up The Little Prince today was a great idea.

" 'What does "tame" mean?'
'It is something which is too often forgotten,' said the fox. 'It means to establish ties...'
' "To establish ties"?'
'That's right,' said the fox. 'To me, you are still just a little boy like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you have no need of me, either. To you, I am just a fox like a hundred thousand foxes. But if you tame me, we shall need one another. To me, you will be unique. And I shall be unique to you.'

I'm still waiting for Chicago to tame me.

And how could we forget this part...

" 'Now here is my secret. It is very simple. It is only with one's heart that one can see clearly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.' "
