Hello my dear friends, this poem is about the special bond between humans and nature and the health benefits that arise from it!

Do you sometimes feel burned out and overwhelmed by the hectic pace of our modern world? Are your body and soul not feeling well, or is anger pulsing within you? Then simply visit our beautiful, healing nature, and you'll be back on the trail of happiness! For there is nothing better than the magic of forest bathing to recharge your weary aura!

For we trees are always kind to you, and we warmly welcome you at any time! We always have a listening ear for you; sadness is rarely found among us forest dwellers! We were created to gently heal you; all you need to do is spend time with us in nature! We gladly unfold our magical powers for you whenever your stressful everyday life becomes too much! You can feel love everywhere here, whether beneath the trees or beside the waterfall!

A venerable old tree calls out to you gently: “Beneath my leaves, you will find peace again! With me, you'll forget your pain and your worries, and soon brighter days will return! My mighty roots will give you renewed strength for everyday life, for here in nature mystical forces are at work! Everything here is filled with positive energy—you will never forget a visit to the forest!”

The little birds chirp encouragingly: “That's exactly how it is, dear children of humankind. Here in our community, you are never alone! One for all, and all for one—here in the green forest you'll soon have no reason to cry! Whether rich or poor, young or old, every living being is valued equally here in the forest! You are perfectly unique just as you are; no harm will come to you here among us!”

The fragrant flowers nod knowingly with their colourful blossoms: “Here you may gather new strength once again! We are all connected with you, in good times and in difficult ones! Your energy field will soon regenerate; taking time out with us will always be worthwhile! After every rain shower, the sun smiles again, so it doesn't matter if a thunderstorm raged before!”

“The rainbow that follows will be even more beautiful,” whisper the animals of the forest dreamily in the sunshine. “There is always something beautiful to hope for. Here, creation has truly outdone itself! We will soon bring a smile back to your face, and life will surely fill you with joy once again! For the most precious things in life cannot be bought—sometimes all it takes is to run into nature...”
