In the greenhouse on a bad weather day
To go in to the greenhouse on a day with bad weather, close the door, stand and listen to the wind out there, the rain that lashed the thin roof, through the misty window, see the black swaying branches of the trees far away, take a deep breath, completely and fully let yourself go to the strange, almost mystical sense of peace, as this fragile structure creates .... for me this is one of the greatest pleasures that life has bestowed upon me.
I experienced a feeling of escape from any threat, a sense of having reached a safe haven.
