GALLERY | The magic garden in the city under Pelister: Observing the world through the eyes of plants is like living your earthly fairy tale

July N. often goes to his garden. As soon as she steps into her living space, whole worlds open before her. She says that she feels like joy floods her from all sides and spills everywhere. And that in her heart they sing together and the birds and the bugs and the grass and the trees and the flowers and the rain and the wind and the sun and the clear sky.

Jule N., a 58-year-old woman from Bitola, who otherwise lives near the Clock Tower, regularly visits her garden located in the eastern, peripheral part of the city. She says that it is an inheritance from her mother, and her grandparents lived there. When the weather is nice, go to the garden by bike. And in the garden, there is a small house. Jule is a wife, mother of two children and grandmother of three grandchildren, she is in love with nature, in fact - she and nature are in perfect harmony. There, in the magic garden, Jule makes amazing works of art. And he writes wonderfully. He plays guitar (from his fifth year) and sometimes a picture. By the way, Jule has been a vegetarian for 18 years.

Here are some of her thoughts, written in the first person and photos from her magic garden:

- For a long time I was amazed by the fact that plants are not just living things that have roots, stems and leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds and serve us for firewood, for making furniture and objects from them, for food and for creating oxygen. , but are much more than that. And almost seven years ago I started my own gardening adventure - tells Jule.

. In essence, all plants are good-natured, beautiful, and loving. In their world there are species that get along very well with each other and want to grow side by side… and those whose first neighbor does not like them for various reasons. Plants too - remember. Their entire memory is contained in the small seed which contains all the data for the previous seasons or years in which that plant grew and lived, as well as its immune record. Houseplants are deeply connected to the one who nurtures and cares for them, and garden plants - to the gardener. They grow for him and for the people he loves. They recognize his personality without any problem among all the others they come in contact with and they are most happy for him. If he is in a bad mood or sad - they grieve too. In the presence of an aggressive person, they close themselves in and remain so quiet and dumb as long as he is near them.

. Observing the world through the eyes of plants is like living your earthly fairy tale in constant contemplation with the highest love. Because the rivers, mountains, trees, flowers, grasses and all living things on Earth love us unreservedly, constantly offering us food and medicine and happiness and peace and health and life and hope. And most importantly - connection with our own original essence which by its nature is pure love, deep joy and infinite tenderness.

. Plants are good teachers. They live intensively in the present moment and in that way our fears disappear. The seeds of any plant contain more knowledge and power than all man-made technology. The fruits grown with their own hands nourish the body and give it clarity to the mind, fill the human spirit with inspiration, and every cell with the joy of life.

Само Nature only helps us to heal our wounds and get ourselves back on track. Attached to the earth by its roots and without the possibility of escaping anywhere before the ruthless destruction of man, the only defense of all plants is their silent prayerful desire to embrace us with their lavish scents, to amaze us with their beauty and to give us ripe fruits and their blessings. From all my experience in organic gardening and in direct contact with the soil and plants, I realized one thing: that there is nothing softer than nature - and nothing more brutal than human aggression on it. And therefore, I am happy that I can see all her beauty with open eyes, as a child to rejoice and enjoy her.
