Reality and Appearance
The constellation Auriga, with its bright star Capella, shines brightly in the winter night sky. This third-brightest star in the northern sky is visible throughout the year. Unlike the other five stars of the Charioteer, it never sets. But are the other stars no longer there simply because we cannot see them? A change in perspective would reveal the answer. In our hectic times, taking different perspectives is often no longer possible—or simply undesirable. Decisions are expected too quickly, and the time to switch perspectives now and then is scarce. Yet: Different perspectives broaden our minds and our horizons. The result is a sense of calm serenity that would do us all so much good.
Just as the legendary charioteer guides his horses across the sky, so too is every entrepreneur called upon to steer his business through the times and their challenges. For hotelier Ingo Strolz, the constellation Auriga is thus both a reminder and a comforting guide. Unapproachable, untouchable, and yet just a tiny part of the infinite. Big or small? A matter of perspective.
