The spring brings the wisdom of nature

The nature is wise, people know it, regardless of when and where they live, they admire the order it contains in itself. Every spring we are facing its wisdom and force anew. The nature is present in all living and non-living shapes, saying: “I am here, turn around, see that this year again I am offering an opportunity for harvest, welfare, order in the chaos. Be wise”.

Fortunately, in the spring days in our country, many people, some of them officially, some of them not, start looking for their relations with the nature. Trees are planted, the folk tradition, disturbed by the technological development and the race with the time, is renewed. This spring, the government and civil society representatives, too, paid some attention to the environment. The President Branko Crvenkovski opened the Park of Tolerance in Skopje, where politicians will have the chance to realize their contacts with nature by planting trees, instead of going hunting. Skopje received 38 trees from 34 countries, new inhabitants of the urban city. We wish them welcome.

On the other hand, the representatives of the Working group on Greening of the Local Elections, financed by the Dutch foundation Milieukontakt oost Europa, confused the local election candidates in the race for positions in the local government. With their campaign “Vote for the nature” they turned the public attention and reminded that besides the political power and the power of the citizens, there is another one, the power of nature with its own laws that need to be obeyed. In a country where obeying the laws passed by people is a constant problem, obeying the rules of nature is a forgotten page of the ancient wisdom of our predecessors.

The awakening of the spring is a process, which gives an incentive to the awakening of people. However, the awakening depends on many factors, including the power of the will. The spring is a time when houses and gardens are cleaned, and in order to reach the wisdom of nature, we need to clean our conscience.

How much do we really look after the trees that are planted every spring?
