That is the line that the fox says to the prince in The Little Prince. It means "One cannot see well except with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes." I thought of The Little Prince as I ran yesterday and was transfixed by the full moon lighting my way. Yesterday I talked about how running fast made my heart race and how great that felt. Today I decided to run fast again and thought about things and how the heart is essential. Running fast begins on the inside. I remembered what Gilbert said about running for pure joy and fixated on that and as darkness began to fall on my run there were moments were I literally closed my eyes and just felt myself taking off-a rocket ship to the moon.
