I am standing in the midst of a flowery meadow, basking in the afternoon sun filling my body with new strengths. The grass is swaying lightly in the breeze. I close my eyes and soak up the heavenly scent of flowers. Bees are buzzing in the background when suddenly I hear her whispering to me: »Take a second and come with me.«
I open my eyes and there she is standing. A girl with flowers in her hair telling me a story about extraordinary things hiding out in the dark woods, deep river beds and vast flowery plains of her kingdom. She is Eve, mysterious and powerful, wearing a white dress made of butterflies, with her hair fluttering like autumn leaves and lips as sweet as honey. For a moment I forget all my worries and tiredness, and soak up her story. She is telling me about nature, this powerful force that breathes in harmony. As soon as I start talking about myself and my life fraught with worries and redundant things, she puts her gentle finger on my lips, hushes me, and takes me to her garden. She stretches out her arm and offers me her potion. I take a sip and suddenly feel overwhelmed by the taste of flowers, trees and streams reminding me of my mother’s kitchen, childhood and happiness. Then I once again hear the buzzing of the bees, so I decide to open my eyes. Eve is gone, she vanished like the wind. All that is left behind is a small bottle with a taste of her. I grab it and take it home with me.
Eve’s magic potion, bringing health and harmony into our lives, is something we all need. Bad eating habits, which result from a modern way of living, bring inevitable consequences. Diseases, chronic fatigue, depression, obesity – all of this shows that we have turned our backs on nature and tried to completely forget about it. The food we ingest contains far too many calories but lacks the necessary nutrients to keep us stay healthy and vital. However, if we really took a deep look into ourselves and around us we might see that nature, despite our thoughtless attitude towards it, still offers the cure to heal man’s trouble. Our diet should include more natural products that have been developed through centuries. Eve offers us products filled with ancient wisdom, ecologically produced honey, and herbs, which can either supply us with energy at the start of a working day, ensure a good night’s sleep, or improve our health and beauty. Let us now see how she is whispering, inviting us to her Garden…
