In ancient Greece, beauty and idleness were at the heart of culture. In our modern society, their importance has been lost to some extent. However, the loss of beauty goes hand in hand with the loss of quality of life. Just functioning is enough to survive, but not to live well.

When you cultivate the ability to perceive beauty, you regain that quality of life. To cultivate beauty is to repeatedly relate to it, to let it affect you, to feel whether it arouses an emotion or motivates you to express yourself.

It is about rediscovering the world. Beauty is in the center of movement, in the quality of touch. True beauty is not afraid of the light or the dark. It is in the journey of our lives, in winning and losing. The experience of beauty is one of the sources of power that leads to real life, whatever that real life may mean for you.
