Reading while flying… a St.X story

Antoine Saint-Exupery (AKA St.X) flew reconnaissance missions and the Lockheed P-38 Lightning was the type of plane he piloted in 1943.

There’s a story that Joseph Campbell tells that pretty much captures what we are trying to do here at Jedemi. It is the fable of a tigress, who was pregnant and hungry, prowling about in great distress, until she came at last upon a herd of goats, whereupon she pounced.  But as she sprang she [...]
