Too Blind To Spot Godot
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye."
- The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Life is precious. Samuel obtained the secondhand knowledge when his neighbor’s dog died. It was as if the boy had lost something of higher value than the insignificant price of a halfbreed pup. Ever since, Samuel has been waiting for evidence, his relationships a study seeking to prove the preciousness of life. He’s been an unsuccessful scientist.
Sometimes science requires extreme measures – no progress without risk. He stands on the edge of the roof, face tear-streaked after the fight.
What are you waiting for? He lets himself fall, passing on his research to the lover waiting for him at home.
