A PLANET_PART ONE

"I've lived as if I were the center, never even thinking about it as something taken for granted. In that world, to take a step outside, I wanted to see my little planet that I had created from a slight distance."

The world I stand in, the planet I’ve created, formed gradually from the imagination of my five-year-old self, who used to make tents out of blankets and play inside.

I’ve started re-reading Saint-Exupéry’s ‘The Little Prince,’ which I read a very long time ago. Watching the sun rise and set 44 times and contemplating the moments that change emotionally each day, I realize the significance of the saying, “What is essential is invisible to the eye.” After 47 years, its meaning resonates more closely with my skin.

On my little planet, there are things I need to love and take care of, and someone who may have caused wounds in my heart but whom I still love.

Perhaps it could be my own story, or maybe it could be the daily thoughts and feelings that could be the story of everyone. If I can share the things I imagine and the day-to-day experiences, today will probably be happier.

My dad always used to say to me, “The brightest and biggest moon in the sky is the day I was born.” He is not by my side now, but when a bright full moon rises, I think of my dad. On my planet, there are many moons that shine brighter than sunlight._a note for Full Moons 716 317
