The Little Prince ou Le Petit Prince

Hello SuperForest. Let me tell you about my favorite book. During its 66 year life it has been translated into 180 different languages and has sold 80 million copies. It first came into my life in French class last year. We didn’t study it in French, but in English. It’s the beautiful story of a ‘little prince’ who goes on an interstellar voyage to many planets including Earth, delving into the mystery of love and friendship. I can’t explain in words how beautiful the author’s (Antoine de Saint-Expuery) message is. I just can’t.

I find myself reading the same story week after week. There comes some times when I get down on myself and those are the times I do not remember the little prince.  It does not read like a children’s book. It reads like a human’s book. It reads like a poem. I hope if you do decide to pick it up in a book store it finds you well. Don’t take my word for it. When you feel it, you’ll know.
Here’s an handy Amazon link.
Have a great day.

Love,

Chris

Beautiful Stages

I was thinking today about my fear of public speaking.  I really don’t like it, and being put on display on a stage is perhaps the most terrifying thing I can see myself facing.  (Of course there are more terrifying things, but I don’t know any top secret CIA information, and I live in a place where people aren’t going to hurt me because of something as insignificant as the shape of my nose.)
I go through life pretty afraid of being noticed by everyone all at once.  Why am I not equally afraid of never being noticed by anyone?  I have convinced myself  that sitting in the seats of a theater will give me a view that will enrich my life far more than the view from the stage itself.  My passive approach is a way to stay modest and inoffensive, but it is certainly not a way to get things done for the greater good.
So… to hopefully inspire others to embrace the stage and share their talents, I have found a few images of gorgeous stages to share with you, dearest SuperForesters!



And of course… an old stage… that just won’t quit.

Please.
We’re all ears!
