Aware Quote by Louisa Thomsen Brits

“Hygge is our awareness of the scale of our existence in contrast to the immensity of life. It is our sense of intimacy and encounter with each other and with the creaturely world around us. It is the presence of nature calling us back to the present moment, calling us home.” quote by Louisa Thomsen Brits
