& the story that got us here
Behind our business front is a husband and wife team who views your day as infinitely unique; a one of a kind love. Together, we step into your adventure with hearts full of intention and dedication in telling your story. What sounds like an interesting and maybe even an odd name to some, actually comes from a children’s book I (Micah) love. I often think of it as the beginning of Caleb and I’s own story, but it may be more accurate to recognize it as beginning of any individual’s. All relationships begin with the gentle kindling of affection by time invested in another human soul. It is this investment, sweet and seemingly small amounts of life exchanged with one another, that forms a relationship. With continued nurturing, it may grow into it’s own beautiful venture that ought to be written down, captured, and remembered for its legacy.
Let me bring you up to speed on this particular story
“there was once a little prince who lived on a tiny planet…”
This planet was also home to a single beautiful rose that the prince watered and cared for. On a whim, he decides to travel and leave his home and his rose, eventually landing here on Earth. While traversing the countryside he stumbles across a bush full of roses just like his. The prince had believed that there were no other roses in the entire universe. Seeing them here he thinks of his rose; how embarrassed she would be to realize there were others like herself.
While gazing at the roses, a fox appears. This fox insists that the prince take some time to tame him. Curious, the prince asks how one would go about this sort of task. He learns that to tame the fox he must spend time with him, eventually gaining the fox's trust. So he does just that and the two become dear friends. At this point the prince decides his traveling is over and he returns to look at the roses again.
it is from this section of the story that I found & Two Were Tamed
A snippet from the book "The Little Prince" by Antione de Saint Exupery
"You're not at all like my rose. You're nothing at all yet", he told them. "No one has tamed you and you haven't tamed anyone. You're the way my fox was. He was just a fox like a hundred thousand others. But I've made him my friend and now he's the only fox in all the world. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under the glass. Since she's the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars. Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she is my rose."
by taming the fox, the prince learned the key to love and friendship
When you CHOOSE to invest time and energy into another wildly unique human being, you CHOOSE to grow with that person. As you both grow fond of one another, better understand one another's hearts, and build up trust together, you allow your partner to tame you and you them. Stay wild friends, together <3
