The new, untouched makes our hearts beat faster.
The freshly fallen snow without a trace.
The first days of the new year.
Because everything still seems possible.
The new year is ahead of us like a blank sheet of paper.
And we can write the new chapters.
So it's time to take a positive turn in life.
At least when it comes to the little things around us that we can definitely influence.
There are enough resolutions.
Were it not for the fear of change.
Everything in nature is subject to constant change, but we stick to the familiar.
So it's better to continue as before than to dare something new.
And is it still so unpleasant?
What Hermann Hesse described
These considerations have long since found their way into music and literature.
Own ways are sung.
The heroic courage to change is told.
Even if the "steps" in life that Hermann Hesse described sometimes have to be climbed with difficulty.
But with every farewell to the familiar, they open up new spaces and sometimes an unimagined expanse.
Maria Sibylla Merian has also studied the change, as a naturalist she observed the metamorphosis of butterflies.
She was one of the first to see what a caterpillar can become.
"A beautiful butterfly" - in the words of Eric Carle.
Our wishes for 2023 are therefore: Courage to change and constant change.
And have fun writing new chapters.
