“Every human being is born to find that which has been lost, the sense of its being, its golden thread. We all look for it in objects, in relationships, in work, in friendships, in family, in art, in values, in the spirit. The golden thread runs through everything: each one of us and all of us. It breaks down barriers, it shatters real and imaginary walls. It is an invisible bridge that connects and unites peoples and cultures… that connects the inner world with the outer world, wealth with poverty, local with universal. I would therefore like to celebrate this golden thread as a symbol of union, respect and recognition of diversity, overcoming the apparent duality in the encounter with the other. An invisible thread that leads to a constant encounter with oneself and that leads us along the path towards being fully aware that each of us is the path itself; each of us is this golden thread.”
