A short bedtime story revealing the secret of tranquility in Salma's garden
Salma was a quiet child who loved watching the colors of the evening from her room's balcony on the outskirts of the village. There was an old olive tree with silver-blue leaves in the middle of the yard, casting soft shadows on the surrounding white flowers.
Salma noticed that the night breeze, when passing through the branches of the silver tree, produces a gentle rustling sound similar to soft melodies, and birds and night butterflies gather around it, settling among its branches without any fear, filling the entire garden with tranquility.
Salma approached the trunk of the tree at dusk and heard the little sparrow whispering to its companions that the secret of this tree's calmness is that it keeps the secrets of the day and does not carry anger or noise in its branches.
The secret of the silver tree and the secrets of peace of mind before sleep
Salma sat under the shadows of the silver tree and contemplated the moonlight flowing gently over its sparkling leaves, realizing that the tree teaches us to leave behind all moments of anger and disputes that occurred during the day before we go to bed.
Salma closed her eyes and took three slow, deep breaths, feeling the refreshing air filled with the scent of jasmine flowers, and she felt all the day's fatigue dissipate and fade away just as the olive leaves settle with the stillness of the winds.
Salma whispered goodbye to the sleeping birds and returned to her room with light and reassuring steps, carrying in her heart that calm silver light that fills the soul with purity and peace.
