Once upon a time, deep in the lush jungle of the Amazon, there was a wise shaman respected by his tribe. His name was Kiri, and he possessed ancestral knowledge passed down from generation to generation.
Kiri was a humble-looking man, but his wisdom and connection to nature were unparalleled. He spent his days immersed in the forest, listening intently to the whispers of the wind, the songs of the birds and the murmur of the river. Through his experience, he had learned to understand the silent language of the forest and to interpret the messages hidden in every leaf and every animal.
One day, an anxious young man full of questions approached Kiri in search of wisdom. The young man, named Tairu, had a restless spirit and was searching for a purpose beyond his everyday life. With shining eyes, he asked the shaman, "Kiri, what is the secret of happiness and fulfilment in this life?"
Kiri smiled and led the young man to a clearing in the heart of the forest. There, surrounded by the majesty of nature, the shaman began his story.
"Many years ago, when I was just an apprentice, I also wondered about happiness and fulfilment," Kiri began. "I decided to embark on a spiritual journey in search of answers. For months, I walked through the jungle, observed the rhythms of nature and learned from every living thing I encountered along the way."
One day, while crossing a fast-flowing river, I came across an old fisherman. The old man had a smile on his face despite his seemingly simple life. I approached him and asked him about his secret to happiness".
"The old man looked at me calmly and replied, 'Happiness, dear Kiri, is not found in material possessions or worldly goals. True happiness lies in acceptance and gratitude for what we have at this moment'.
"The fisherman told me how every day, as he cast his net into the river, he thanked nature for providing him with sustenance. He appreciated the river, the fish and life itself. His sincere gratitude filled him with joy and fulfilment, no matter what the external circumstances.
Kiri looked at Tairu and continued: "That encounter taught me that the secret of happiness is not in looking outside, but in looking inside and appreciating what we already have. Happiness is in the connection with nature, in the acceptance of our being and in gratitude for every experience that life offers us".
The young Tairu reflected on the shaman's words and understood the profound teaching he had received. From that moment on, he committed himself to cultivate gratitude and connection with nature in his daily life.
