THE HIDDEN POWER OF WOMEN
THE HIDDEN POWER OF WOMEN
Stories of metamorphosis
FEBRUARY 2024 - Sixth sense
“With a defeat, when you lose, you get up, you make it better, you try again. That’s what I do in life, when I get down, when I get sick, I don’t want to just stop. I keep going and I try to do more. Everyone always says never give up but you really have to take that to heart and really do never definitely give up. Keep trying.”
Serena Williams
You see women with their hidden power every day on the tram, in the office, at the supermarket: a little lipstick, a belted coat, high boots. Behind them, stories. Stories of transformation, in a constant physical change, of reconstruction, of new perspectives, of new beginnings. Change is constant in women’s lives, they are creators of new forms by nature.
For the women I know, dissatisfaction, anger, pain, bitterness become the miracle fertilizer for change. A unique inner freedom and deep intimacy opens up for them. Phoenicians in perpetual rebirth.
There are those who change countries, those who change professions, those who change their lives, those who reinvent themselves, those who do not give up, those who are constantly evolving, those who learn by confronting themselves, those who always have the courage to open up, those who trust despite everything, those who know how to grasp the wonder in the ordinary, those who draw their strength from the support of others, those who travel, those who laugh loudly after a long time. This editorial celebrates women in all their facets, in the reconstruction of body and mind, a tribute to all women who, with courage, determination and passion, move forward.
