The adventure of trust: Why it gives courage to trust others!

Trust adventure in the Neflental: A new day begins

In the Neflental valley, the morning dawned a delicate ivory colour. The sun bathed the meadows in May green, while a soft blue colour appeared in the sky. Golden streaks of light played on the ground. Rosa Periwinkle opened her eyes and felt tension in her stomach. Today she wanted to try something she had never done before.

A mystery in the Flammenbusch grove

Yesterday, Flim, the Flossian, had given her a strange leaf. It shone red like fire. Flim said: "It only grows in the Flamebush Grove. Whoever understands it opens a great gate in their heart." Rosa Periwinkle wanted to solve the mystery. But she didn't know how to find her way to the flaming bush grove on her own. Her friends couldn't go with her today. So she stepped out of her hut and the morning wind caressed her face.

The nightingale path led us into adventure. Hawthorn bushes were in bloom and the twittering of nightingales accompanied her every step. The colours around her were bright and friendly, but in her stomach she was unsure. Should she really trust Flim's directions? What would she do if she got lost?

Take a risk - place your trust in us

At the edge of the forest, Livi, a Buchian, was waiting on the branch of an old beech tree. "You look worried!" Livi called out. Rosa Periwinkle told him about her plan. Livi smiled. "The Flamebush Grove is an adventure, especially in autumn. Many people think they can find their way alone, but only those who listen to others will reach their destination safely."

Rosa Periwinkle hesitated briefly. Then she asked Livi for help. "Would you show me a bit?" Together they trudged along the Nightingale Path, past Sky Blue and May Green. The voices of the nightingales made their hearts light. They soon reached the edge of the Flamebush Grove.

Finding courage together

The bushes in the grove now glowed a deep red, as if they were enveloped in flames. "It's here," said Livi. But suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes. A soft wind swayed the bushy branches. Rosa Periwinkle flinched. But Livi whispered calmly: "If we rely on each other, nothing can happen." Rosa Periwinkle took a deep breath. They walked on together, collecting sparkling leaves and laughing at a hare frolicking in the golden leaves.

This is where the small miracle happens

In the middle of the grove, Rosa Periwinkle discovered a narrow path. "Do you see the gate up ahead?" asked Livi. "Only those who dare to accept help will find the way." A shimmering passageway opened up in front of them between two shining bushes. Rosa Periwinkle plucked up all her courage and stepped through with Livi. Outside, the air smelled of adventure and friendship.

Safely at her destination, she turned to Livi and said: "I might not have made it on my own. But because I trusted you, everything went well." Livi nodded with a laugh. "Trust makes you brave, sometimes even stronger than your own strength."

What do we learn from this?

Trust is like a key in the Neflental. It opens up paths that we cannot find on our own. Those who believe in others and rely on help surpass themselves. The colours of autumn in the Flammenbusch grove are a reminder of how wonderful it can be to walk as a team. Because adventures are easier when they are accompanied by friendship and we really trust each other.
