Somewhere It Hides A Well




If you want
to build
a ship,
don't drum up
people together
to collect wood
and don't
assign them
tasks and work,
but rather
teach them
to long
for the
endless immensity
of the sea.
---------
What makes
the desert
beautiful
is that
somewhere
it hides
a well.

--Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900--1944)
