There is a vacant land next to the apartment we live in Ankara.
In the past there was no livelihood on it. People dumped rubbish there. Once there were big piles of used planks. Packs of stray dogs claimed it their territory, endlessly barking at night to defend it.
We haven’t visited the apartment for three years. This year a pleasant surprise was awaiting us.
We were told there was extraordinary rainfall in Ankara during springtime and early summer.
As a result the land was covered with shrubs and thorny bush that have beautiful blossoms. I saw butterflies and birds.
Nature claimed the land in a profoundly meaningful way.
This evening I was walking around the land, and noticed how big the thorns were. It must now be impossible for humans or dogs to enter the area.
When left alone, Mother Nature looks after herself.
