  “You want to see well? See with your heart. The essential is invisible to your eyes” 
  In a quiet park at dusk, as I walk, a bright light suddenly appears. As I approach, I see a being like a light watching me with curiosity. 
  He explains that he's visiting. He asks if I could guide him to better understand humanity. He was very kind, and I didn't feel afraid. 
  We sat in the park. I really wanted to speak that afternoon from within. 
  I sensed in him a mixture of sadness for the arduous struggles for freedom on this planet. "Here on Earth, I see you still searching for that connection," he told me with a note of sadness in his luminous voice. "But don't give up. The potential is within you." 
  For those seeking deep, the book becomes an explicit explanation of The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince).

  Arthur Conan Doyle - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  "The Confessions of Saint Augustine" is an autobiographical work by St. Augustine of Hippo, consisting of 13 books written between AD 397 and 400. This seminal work outlines his sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. It is widely seen as the first Western autobiography ever written, and it provides deep philosophical and theological insights into faith and morality. Augustine explores the nature of time, memory, and the inner self, and the narrative is as much a chronicle of his spiritual journey as it is a theological treatise.

  Zeno - Greek Philosophy and the...

  Zeno of Elea, a philosopher from ancient Greece, is best known for his paradoxes, which have intrigued thinkers for over two millennia. These paradoxes, particularly those dealing with motion, challenge fundamental concepts of space, time, and the nature of infinity. While Zeno's ideas emerged within the context of ancient philosophical debates, their relevance persists today in various fields of study, from physics to mathematics and philosophy. 
  One of the most striking aspects of Zeno's paradoxes is their ability to question assumptions that many take for granted. The Paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise, for example, suggests that a faster runner (Achilles) could never overtake a slower one (the tortoise) if the tortoise has a head start. At first glance, this seems absurd, as we know that Achilles would inevitably pass the tortoise in a real race. However, Zeno’s argument raises deeper questions about how we understand infinite divisions in space and time. Today, this paradox invites reflection on the nature of infinity, a concept that remains central in modern mathematics and the study of calculus. 
  Zeno’s paradoxes also raise critical questions about the nature of motion itself. His Arrow Paradox, for instance, claims that an arrow in flight is always at rest at any given moment in time, suggesting that motion is an illusion. While this may seem like a mere abstract thought experiment, it has significant implications for how we perceive the passage of time and the continuum of motion. In modern physics, the concept of time and motion is constantly reexamined, especially in the context of relativity theory, where time can bend and stretch depending on an object's velocity and position in space. Zeno’s paradoxes, thus, offer an early philosophical precursor to these scientific discussions.
