\"\"<\/p>

It's any given morning when Litha was walking to the dining room, suddenly she hears the bell from the farm side. It's the way to call for help, so soon everyone runs towards there.<\/p>

\u2014They have sprayed pesticide on the neighboring lands and the wind is bringing all the poison to this side \u2014says Ale.<\/p>

All the people start helping to move the animals, cover the water sources, the food; everyone putting in the greatest effort quickly.<\/p>

Someone had put a hen and her chicks into a basket, and Litha offered to carry it because she knew that she had to get out of there as fast as possible. Litha is very sensitive to the environment, her body functions as a radar and the chemicals do her a lot of harm. She was walking back when she meets Leo.<\/p>

\u2014Litha, I was looking for you, how are you? \u2014He took the basket with one hand and Litha with the other arm.<\/p>

\u2014I was in the greenhouse when I heard the bell, and on the way I heard that it was because of pesticide. I came running because I imagined that you would have arrived to help before knowing that it was poison.<\/p>

\"\"Litha does not answer. Walking was costing her effort and she could not gather the strength to speak.<\/p>

Leo took her to her cabin, took out of the first aid kit the bottle of crisis elixir and poured a little into her mouth. Litha lay down on the floor, raising her legs onto the sofa. She began to fade and Jos sat next to her just when he saw that Eture was approaching.<\/p>

\u2014\u00bfWhat happened? She seems confused and disoriented.<\/p>

\u2014They sprayed pesticide on the neighboring land and she inhaled the poison \u2014Leo explains to her.<\/p>

\u2014Oh, of course \u2014says Eture\u2014. Her nervous system is dysregulated, so we will have to wait to see what strategy her brain chooses to regulate itself.<\/p>

\"\"They both stayed next to her when she finally started to cry, and Leo and Eture sighed of relief upon seeing that her nervous system was managing to come out of shock. Shortly after starting to cry, she could start to speak and, between sobs, she said:<\/p>

\u2014It hurts me that people use poison\u2026 How much pain there is in people to kill others\u2026 We are all one and we hurt ourselves.<\/p>

Leo and Eture were next to her, listening and containing with their loving presence. They knew that what Litha needed was to process what had happened. The tears helped her to get the chemicals out of her body, expressing herself helped her to order the thoughts of her mind, and the physical presence of others helped her spirit.<\/p>

After a while, Litha stopped crying and could sit up, drink water and eat something. She knew that all her plans for the day were going to need to be changed, because once her nervous system had activated, it took her several hours to be able to return to balance, and even more if it was something that had affected her physical body, because she needed to purify it and that could take up to days.<\/p>

Litha felt very annoyed, restless, but with her dysregulated nervous system she would not be able to connect with empathy, and she recognized these viscous circles and knew that her attempts to get out of them only took more energy from her\u2026<\/p>

She cried again, in sadness and frustration\u2026<\/p>

Eture intuited that she needed empathy and wanted to offer a little help.<\/p>

\u2014\u00bfAre you feeling frustrated, Litha, because you don't have control of what happened? And at the same time do you understand that there are things that are out of your control?<\/p>

\"\"\u2014Yes \u2014says Litha.<\/p>

\u2014\u00bfAnd do you feel pain when thinking about what happens with the animals and plants on which they sprayed the poison?<\/p>

\u2014Yes \u2014responds Litha, who manages to start connecting\u2014. And the humans who sprayed it, who don't realize how this poison also harms them and their children and the future generations\u2026<\/p>

\u2014Oh, of course, Litha: the pain, the frustration and the loneliness of knowing the consequences and that others don't see them.<\/p>

\u2014Yes! \u2014cries Litha.<\/p>

\u2014I imagine that you would want more consideration and care for life \u2014says Leo.<\/p>

\u2014Yes! \u2014says Litha, and she leans in to hug him.<\/p>

\u2014\u00bfIs there something that would help you at this moment to be calmer? \u2014asks Leo.<\/p>

\u2014Knowing if the animals are safe \u2014said Litha automatically. And it was almost as if the universe knew it, because at that moment Sandy entered the cabin. She was wearing a face mask and Pancy inside her sweatshirt. She took off her face mask and opened her sweatshirt before saying:<\/p>

\"\"\u2014Good morning to all! Litha, how are you? My mom is worried because they say they saw you on the farm and she wants to know how you are.<\/p>

\u2014Sandy dear, I am better. Yes, I breathed poison, but Leo and Eture helped me and I already feel better. Can you do me two favors? Can you ask your mom if she can help me cancel the afternoon meetings? Because I need to rest. And can you tell us how the other animals on the farm are?<\/p>

\u2014Oh, yes. My mom told me that the activities are going to be canceled because the common room is full of the farm animals and the children are not going to go outdoors for today. And the large animals were taken to the other side of the greenhouse. Everyone is fine, only this hen and her chicks are missing. I think I'll leave Pancy to keep you company and I'll take the hen and her chicks with the others. What do you think?<\/p>

\u2014Oh, dear Sandy, thank you, what a relief it is to hear you, thank you for the support.<\/p>

Sandy takes the basket with the hen and the chicks and goes to the common room.<\/p>

\u2014How do you feel now, Litha? \u2014asks Jos.<\/p>

\u2014I think I'm ready to go rest now. I feel the relief that the animals are fine and I can go to bed in peace, with no worries.<\/p>

\"\"Leo helps her stand up, he and Pancy accompany her to her bed, and when she is settled, Leo puts the weighted blanket on her that helps her nervous system to settle and thus rest better. Pancy lies down beside her and they fall asleep. For today there is nothing more to do, tomorrow will be a new day.<\/p>

Leo goes to the greenhouse to tell them what happened and to let them know that he will be looking after Litha to bring her food and be close while the poison leaves her system.<\/p>

Sometimes it happens like this: the decisions of others impact our lives, sometimes we have the wind against us, but there also exists this community that cares for and looks after nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Do you have a community that supports and cares for life?
