the ultimate question for stargazing














"Has the sheep eaten the flower or not?" (From "the Little Prince" by Saint-Exupery)

This is posed as the ultimate question for stargazing, but...
unless you've read the book,
and unless you're a child (or at least not a grownup),
and unless you are willing to take a chance on being consoled,

you will want to find out why...

well, well, well, you've got me all intrigued now. never read the book. and can't think what a sheep has to do with stargazing. being consoled is always nice though. hmmmmm, maybe the bean is getting a new book soon....

it's a beautiful story
i wouldn't spoil it at all
and all the way through it challenges us to think like a child as opposed to as an adult might do :)

childlike thinking, unprejudiced, no preconceived ideas, with wonder and curiosity. yeah, will get the book!
