De voir l’univers avec les yeux d’un autre…
“Le seul véritable voyage, le seul bain de Jouvence, ce ne serait pas d’aller vers de nouveaux paysages, mais d’avoir d’autres yeux, de voir l’univers avec les yeux d’un autre, de cent autres, de voir les cent univers que chacun d’eux voit, que chacun d’eux est.”
― Marcel Proust, La Prisonnière
Open market in Zürich.
Process
“Process saves us from the poverty of our intentions.”
― Elizabeth King, sculptor
…then you must
THINK before you speak
T – is it true?
H – is it helpful?
I – is it inspiring?
N – is it necessary?
K – is it kind?
What advice would you give a friend?
If you don’t know what to do, ask yourself what you would advise a friend to do, if they would find themselves in your situation. Step out.
Start
Start to walk and a way will appear.

- Keep in mind that the fears we feel most alone with are, by definition, a shared reality with uncountable others, separated by fear, confusion or shyness.
- Limit news intake. And avoid news consumption before going to bed.
- Answer questions by children about Covid-19 patiently and take their fears seriously. Yet, keep the information inflow reaching them to a necessary and relevant minimum. Teach children what they can do to protect themselves and others. Distinguish facts from fables.
- Exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Let the sun caress your face whenever it’s out. Hug a tree.
- Eat and drink well and healthy. Try out a new recipe.
- Nurture friendships and reach out to family and friends, especially the worried, the lonely and health care workers. Let them know you are there for them.
- If you cannot hug and kiss a friend, smile – also at strangers.
- Be mindful to cultivate joy. Listen to uplifting music. Read a positive book. Watch an enriching film. Play a game. Take a warm bath. Make fresh orange juice for someone. And let someone make you tea.
- Stay agile and nimble. Make simple, realistic plans you can look forward to.
- Don’t forget to laugh. Don’t forget to celebrate.
- Get enough and good quality sleep.
- Count your blessings.

“L’euphorie de l’altitude”
When I count my blessings one of them is the introduction to ski touring through my father.
It’s an entirely different world up there. No view of streets, no sound of cars, no sight of houses or construction. Snow covered mountains as far as the eye can see – although with noticeably less snow and ice from year to year. Humbling.
And then this beautiful creature at the peak, briefly locking eyes with mine. It felt like it was asking me if we were out of our minds with what we are doing to our surroundings down in the valleys, reminding me of my responsibility.
