It s Done. English

Does it happen to you, reader, sometimes to feel that the world around us is alive and, like any living being, is capable of reacting to our thoughts and feelings?
Our heroine from time to time had to experience, as you may have already noticed, extraordinary events and feelings. She lived in harmony with herself and the nature around her, and incidents like the one I want to tell you about now filled her life with a special light, allowing her consciousness to break out of the shackles of everyday life and look “behind the scenes” of the familiar world, time and action.

So…

On her weekends, and on other days in the evenings, Natalie liked to take long walks around the neighborhood, going one way or the other, depending on where her soul and mood led her.

This Sunday morning, she went outside Dining, reached the intersection. There was a very beautiful place here, reminiscent of an oasis in the desert: fields stretched all around, and at the crossroads someone's caring hands planted several birches many years ago, built a Crucifix and a bench under it. The birches grew, giving shade to the tired traveler, the Crucifix darkened with time, the bench could also complain about its ancient age, but at the same time it was comfortable, wide and polished to a lacquer shine by many people who sat here.

Natalie, too, perched in the shade of the trees, sat down comfortably, with her legs tucked up and wrapped in her arms, her back resting on the wide trunk of a birch. And in such a comfortable position, under the rustle of the leaves of good trees, she indulged in not very cheerful thoughts about Amir. Yes, lately he has mostly upset her. The former closeness of their souls seemed lost forever.

Gradually, these reflections grew into an appeal to the One who sees everything and the One who can change the situation. Natalie began to pray.

She prayed that Amir could understand her soul and love her not with his childish fleeting funny love, but seriously and deeply, the way she loved him... And that they were allowed to meet.

Gradually, the prayer had its effect - the sadness dissipated, and instead of it, hope awakened in the soul.

Having already had a good rest, Natalie was about to continue her journey when her gaze was attracted by the Crucifix, or rather, the vertical inscription on it in German. How many times had she seen this Crucifixion and calmly walked by, but now suddenly she felt keen desire to know what was written here.

“Es ist vollbracht” - she scored into the translator. German. Translate to English. And in the next second Natalie received an answer from which she shuddered.
 
“It's done”.

She felt that her prayer was accepted, and the Universe in its own language said: "YES".
