This is so true, Frauke! I made the point on my recent trip to truly observe everything - the good, the bad, the ugly. And it is those moments of joy - seeing the height of healing pine trees in East Texas, the growing of sugar cane in Louisiana, the remote and beautiful beaches of the Forgotten Coast in Florida, the architecture in New Orleans (and the fascinating process of aromatic bitters used in Whiskey), and the interaction between friends old and new at the conference - that truly give me hope for this world. There are many beautiful things to enjoy and I know that they will overcome the ugly. It’s true - humanity never seems to have been at peace throughout its existence but somehow the world continues to show us its treasures if we open our eyes and take a fleeting moment to nurture ourselves for the bad. Hope that makes sense 💚
