When did we last gaze at a star? When did we last smell a flower? When did we last love?
We adults are masters in losing the things which brought light in our eyes.
Adults are strange !
Was an adult born directly as an adult? No… Every adult started the same way, as a baby. The arrival of a baby is much celebrated by grownups – the baby is declared prince or princess of the family! The little ones in turn cast a spell on the family, bringing much joy and colour to the household, transforming it into a small theatre.
Here, the little ones give never-ending performances with a twinkle in their eyes which in turn helps the adults to find back their long-lost twinkle even if it’s just for a moment.
But how did this little one become an adult themselves? When did they lose the twinkle in their eyes?
And where is he now, The Little Prince?
He is sitting calmly in the depths of our hearts humming a lullaby
