For those living in the countryside, city life was like an unattainable dream. People used to find a way to get away from the village and find a way to start a new life in the city. Village life was very tiring and people had to work the land and raise animals to meet their needs. While the people in the city had difficulty even taking care of two children, the person living in the village was taking the responsibility of a large family, a hundred sheep and a garden, which was a very tiring job. Back then, people envisioned the city as an easy and comfortable life and sought ways to leave the village. However, when the cities invaded by the capitalist system became uninhabitable, people believed that they could lead a healthier life by moving to the villages. The increase in the cost of living, air pollution, negative living conditions and mental and physical problems in the cities led people to new searches and village life was seen as an alternative solution.
Many people, who were overwhelmed by the stifling atmosphere of the city, said goodbye to the city after retirement and moved to the village, and these people tried to establish contact with the tree and the soil. But adapting to the new situation was not as easy as it seems, and people tried to decipher the language of the soil, air and tree. The village, which is intertwined with nature, did not have the activities, social environments and mobility that cities have, and people sought solutions to fill this gap. Although there was no area where technology did not enter, would this facilitate the adaptation process of people?
Isn't it strange that a person realizes the value of what he has when he loses it? We were not aware that the earth, the sky and the trees that give us cooling were so important to our lives. We thought that we would not need anything in developed cities, which have all kinds of opportunities in terms of financial comfort. But nothing turned out as we had imagined, and as we were being tossed between work and home, we realized that our inner world was gradually becoming barren and we began to lose our joy. We started to need the coolness of the tree, the clarity of the sky and the brightness of the water. We planted trees on the shores of the streets where the sounds were mixed with each other, we tried to grow the plants we consume in our homes, we took the small opportunities to throw ourselves out of the city and tried to relax by shading under a tree. But we were so tired that daily escapes were of no use.
Trees breathing the air of the city shared the same fate as humans and looked at us with pale eyes. Dogs, which provided the safety of hundreds of herds in the countryside, had become a tool used by urban people to mend their battered emotions. The city life, which had an important place in our minds with its social activities and the garish life it offered, lost its importance and turned into a graveyard of the murdered values. People wanted to get away from this complex environment and reach the source of the tree, soil and water and regain the lost values. But he did not know where the end of the road would lead.
