An Idyllic Day with The Little Prince

Festive Sonnet Sunday: Experiments In Fiction #Sonnet No. 5
To borrow Guardini's quote, may our hearts be quickened by love, and free will stir us to action so that spiritual conception can happen. And may we soon turn to our stillness within to allow the blessings to seep in. I bless you and wish you safe and joyous festivities.
