In the Beginning...

ok so let me expound a little on my experiences with this little prince.
I was a freshman in college in an education class when I learned of Exupery's prince.  I was 34 at the time, a conservative of conservatives and a Bible thumping cuss too I might add.  Which is an ironic tale to place cuss with Bible thumping, and yet i say otherwise for the Bible thumper does cuss in his/ her own right, they just use Bible verses instead of four letter words. Anyways, My education teacher had a way of asking questions that led you on a journey into your own soul that would in turn help you to understand others in such a way to help them learn.  Much in the same way Mr. Netto is doing with his writing.  At the time, I fell in love with the most marvelous of creatures, who just happend to be my math aide for my algerbra class.  She had this smile that would assure you that all things would be fine just as long as you could play with playdough.  And we did alot of that :)   She had her own set of burdens and yet seem to always be there to aid me in whatever ill I had at the time.  Then it happend we looked into each other's eyes and bonded beyond this life into the next.  We were not at all sure as to what it meant, but we became afraid that we were in sin.  She was advised to leave me alone, that I would lead her astray.  So, she did.  I went into mourning like never before and wrote about how the Prince had to leave the Pilot.  She married a man and had two beautiful children and went her way and I moved to Ohio....
Then in 2008, I moved back to Ky for reasons Ill say later.  Then she and I found each other again and she had been separated from her husband for about 5 years.  So we found out that we were meant for each other after all.  Kayleena is her daughter and her favorite animal is an elephant.  and I am afraid the snake is trying to devour the elephant that I do not see because I am wearing the hat of authority in her life and thus too grown up to see things the way she sees them.  
So Antoines desire is my desire to become a child in such away to aide my step daughter face her fears of snakes that would devour her elephant.  So I may add,  I feel secure wearing a hat.
