Philocaly

Philocaly means to love beauty.

I guess we all do love beauty. We do!

Maybe it is difficult to recognize beauty in times of crises. Maybe there is a lack of stimuli when, for example, you are forced to stay home in quarantine.

But beauty is still there, nonetheless. In a nice restaurant when we dine after a long time. In a play or movie we watch with a couple of friends or family. Even wearing masks. Even keeping distances. In returning at work and share a slice of pizza or beer with your colleagues.

Maybe times of crises are a great opportunity to rediscover beauty, hidden in plain sight. A great opportunity to practice philocaly.
