On the enchanting morning of 17th December 2021, we did not have any classes at the university as we were already on winter vacation, we embarked on a transformative journey guided by the very words of Nekola Tesla "vacation is when you get a break from all your external affairs; then it is a beautiful opportunity to work on your inner self". Following this wisdom, we embarked on our Jungle Walk Adventure.
It was a trio comprising myself, my dear friend Carlos, and our dear lecturer Ronja. The clock struck 7 am as we set foot on the path that wound from our university's heart, meandering alongside the serene Ihle river. Our destination- the untamed wilderness that awaited us beyond the horizon.
The forest welcomed us with open arms, as the sun's golden rays pierced through the foliage. Our steps carried us forward for a solid half-hour, finally leading us to the quaint Pabsdorf village. But this was just the beginning; our spirits untamed and hearts yearning for more, we ventured further. Our next destination- Rakendorf Village, a place that beckoned us through the very heart of the wild forest.
As Rakendorf unveiled itself before us, a wondrous sight greeted our eyes. The vast expanse was graced by a parade of cows, each grazing and dancing in their own bovine rhythm. A smile lit up our faces as we marveled at this unique spectacle.
Regrettably, we lost ourselves amidst the untamed wilderness beyond Rakendorf, tracing arrows etched into wood, our wanderings brought us to the park adjacent to the university, where our hands worked with wood, crafting objects that would later adorn the garden, each piece infused with the spirit of our adventure. Finally, we was happy that even though we were lost in wilderness, we found solace in the knowledge that we had truly discovered our inner selves.
Our journey was a medley of discoveries - gangs of deer crossing our path, the symphony of diverse birdcalls that painted the air, and the countless herbs that gifted the forest floor with their presence. The harmonious melodies of our songs blended seamlessly with the birds' own music, causing trees and branches to sway and dance in joyful accompaniment. The wind itself seemed to dance, adding its rhythm to our melodies. Whistling playfully, we teased the birds, forging deeper connections with our surroundings. Our footsteps took us in every direction, exploring every corner of the wild forest, until we felt an undeniable bond with nature.
Amidst the wild beauty, a serene stillness enveloped us, guiding us into a meditative state. Our hearts spoke to us, and our souls resonated with the tranquility of the forest. This was our time to connect with our inner selves, to embark on a journey within the depths of our spiritual beings. The symphony of our emotions, the dance of our senses, and the whispers of our hearts blended harmoniously, making us feel alive and renewed.
In the grand tapestry of life, it is the shared passions that weave the most intricate patterns. Our unity, forged through our mutual love for nature and the desire to connect with its essence, is a profound secret that binds us three together. Our footsteps etched memories into the trails, our laughter echoed through the woods, and our spirits danced alongside the trees. We are interwoven with the fabric of these unique phenomena, forever connected to the wild and to each other.
