I recently read that when a bird is alive, it eats ants, but when it dies, the ants eat the bird. Circumstances can change at any time, and time will always work against you in the end. In life, you should therefore focus less on always being the strongest, the best, the most successful, because time is the greater force. The essence lies in being more humble, being grateful, and embodying compassion. Rarely have I been so moved by a sentence and its meaning like I have recently. This realization should invite us not only to reflect on the fleeting nature of power and success but also to actively cultivate a life rich with understanding, kindness, and a genuine connection to those around us.

The issue delves into the art of slowing down, celebrates the joy of crafting, invites you to feel the freedom from society’s temporal constraints, and captures the alluring sentiment that everything looks more beautiful under the sun.
