Why do we complain and moan so much? Why do we spend so much time talking negatively about things? Why do we lack courage and confidence, goodwill and optimism? Not because the times are so dark, but because we have closed our eyes to all the beauty and goodness that is there anyway – but that we cannot see since we are constantly circling around ourselves and our own concerns. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was right when saying: It is only with the heart that one can see well. Could it be that our hearts have gone blind from all the self-centredness?
Our Christmas message for 2024 is to embrace beauty once again – to open our hearts and see the world through eyes of love. Love reveals beauty and beauty strengthens love – and with it our hearts, our courage and our confidence. Since beauty empowers us, it has the power to save the world.
That is why we wish you love and beauty. For,
‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever.’ (John Keats)
With all our hearts
Christoph and Christine
