The valley
In the Alpine valley Colours of Language therapeutic community found its home. The surrounding nature has been mutually created by weather conditions and the people, who had fully colonized the lower parts of this territory till the end of the 10th century. Around 1140 AD the Benedictine monastery, which gave religious and secular character to the Zadrečka and the Savinjska valley for centuries, was founded in Gornji Grad.
Thanks to the remoteness from main trade routes, peace and beauty that take your breath without words remain at the foot of the mountains.
"Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad."
George Orwell, 1984.
Problem solving
Life in its infinite diversity offers numerous solutions – we should just see and accept them. It was a relief to someone, when he after hard days sat down in front of the house in the starry
night and with his hot head pointed a staring gaze deep into darkness, that pricked the void among stars and beyond.
Relation between people and animals
Animals are distinguished from humans among other things by the property that they cannot speak. They "luckily" send signals just with help of their bodies and voices, which we interpret through our own understanding of the world. We humans, on the other hand, can use speech for communication. We send messages that criticise and tease, seemingly ask, but in fact set final judgements, they are often negative and usually unproductive.
We may make various interpretations of signals that we receive from an animal. It can be understood either as a friend or an enemy. However, if we do not have any previous negative experience, we most often place it on the list of our friends, because it is not our rival or opponent in the human society, which is governed by the laws of its own, but not natural law.
"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7;12 ESV.
