Elitsa and the Trees

Image
  Elitsa stood by the window, watching the morning light glide across the bark of the trees — that old, cracked bark that resembled the hands of elderly people who had survived more winters than could ever be spoken of. The air smelled of dust and damp soil, and in the distance came the metallic sound of chainsaws, slicing through the silence like a harsh thought intruding upon a prayer. Even before she saw what was happening, her body understood. There are pains that arrive before words do. Pains that live in the nerves, in the chest, in the deep memory of the soul. They had begun cutting the trees. Large. Old trees. She remembered how, as a child, she believed that trees kept human secrets. That they listened. That they absorbed what a person could not confess to anyone else. Her mother had once told her that when someone cried beside a tree, the tears were never wasted. And perhaps that was why Elitsa had always felt a particular silence around old trees — not an empty silenc...

Kindness as Nature, Not a Transaction - A Return to the Heart of the Village

In a world where everything moves fast, where logic often overrides intuition, kindness has started to seem... strange. Especially in the cities. There, people pass each other without eye contact. Every gesture of goodwill is met with suspicion:
“What do they want in return?”
“Why are they helping me?”
“Are they pretending to be kind for their own gain?”

But somewhere—not so far away—in the villages, in the small towns and countryside, kindness still lives. Not as a strategy, but as a natural way of being. There, people don’t ask whether it’s worth doing something kind. They simply do it. If someone senses their neighbor is alone, they stop by. If they cook something delicious, they bring some to share.
Not for credit.
Not for a favor in return.
Just because it feels right.
Because it's part of who they are.

In these rural communities, an invisible web still exists—of support, care, and sincere connection. Kindness there is not an investment. It is a way of life. A heartbeat.

And this is what we’re losing in the cities—the ability to believe in unconditional goodness. In urban environments, someone who acts kindly without reason may be seen as naive, strange, or even manipulative. Kindness becomes suspect. It becomes impractical.

But kindness is not a luxury. It is a frequency—a vibration that those still connected to the land, to tradition, and to God naturally live in. These are people who understand that we are not isolated islands but part of something greater—a living, breathing, caring human fabric.

Let’s not forget this. Let’s not let kindness become a myth.
We may not all live in a village, but we can carry the village in our hearts—as a memory, as a model, as a quiet reminder that humans were never meant to walk alone.
That real kindness isn’t negotiated.
It’s lived.
