Why drive six wooden stakes into the ground?

My neighbor made it up, How to equip the yard of the house. A simple, completely ordinary man, he never differed in the desire to work in his yard, did everything reluctantly. Thoughtful like that... We haven't been close before, I don't get along well with people, and he didn't try to strike up a conversation on occasion.

On a cool spring day, I noticed a neighbor running around with long sticks. Well, I think I finally decided to sort out the junk that's piling up in the garage.

After 2 hours I was disturbed by loud sounds. Pikes! He hammered into the ground these stakes, these wooden sticks with such frenzy. And here's the work. To be honest, I had mixed feelings. That's creepy!





How to arrange the yard of the boiling work. The man dragged the boards and made them, did it quickly and professionally. I couldn’t help but ask what was going on. What kind of wooden wall is he building? Probably tired of the neighbors at all, I thought, decided to fence off so as not to see anyone! I understand his feelings. People can be so out of place, sometimes I want to be alone, to be in the story “Vacation” by Ray Bradbury.





My neighbor’s response surprised me. It turns out he recently read a book that completely changed his outlook on life. He said he lived only for himself, always thinking about himself. There was so little joy in his life! He dragged on a gray, boring existence, because no one can be happy with himself.

I decided to build a cozy place near the house to invite good people to visit and relax in comfort. That's it. veranda He did it. What a sight!





The host warmly invited me to visit tonight. I asked him what book he had read. I didn't recognize my neighbor. It's as if someone has replaced a sullen, thought-absorbed big guy.





We've never had such a heartfelt conversation! Of course, the conversation touched on the topic. courtyard. How did he come up with the idea of rebuilding? A neighbor said he had strange dreams. He lived in a different house and he was a different person. Not a well-fed brunette, but a toned, blonde...

A few photos, accidentally seen on the Internet, prompted him to try something. You have the opportunity to watch these pictures, dear reader. Perhaps they will also inspire you to act, although it is not necessary. Sometimes it's good to just watch.





This is the goal of the neighbor. In the coming days, he is going to find it and remake it for the joy of everyone! He regrets his lost years. He could not communicate, did not appreciate other people. It was easy to argue, eventually lost all loved ones. A couple of years ago, his wife left him, and Anton fell into suspended animation. I didn't want anything!





She wants to live in a new way, meet a good woman, even though she is not young. But it's never too late to change anything! It is not the number of years lived that determines a person’s age, but the ability and, most importantly, the desire to learn something new.





What inspires you? Anton was inspired by a random man. He saw his grandfather monotonously picking cigarette butts with tweezers, which stupid citizens had sketched on the tramways at the stop. My grandfather packed cigarette butts into a bag and looked strange. Like a bird that bites crumbs and then the ground is so clean.

The neighbor admitted that at that moment he almost cried. He wasted his days, did not appreciate the good done by others. And the worst thing is that he didn’t do anything good, but he was almost 40 years old. Just don't spare your time and effort, try for others, like this grandfather does. That's what he really wanted.





Anton called friends with whom he had not spoken for a long time. I cried all night. How did he want to go back 15 years? Unfortunately, there is no time machine.





So I asked my neighbor, How to arrange a private yard. This topic is also relevant to me. Where do I start? The feeling neighbor did not give practical recommendations. He told a parable about the camel, and it impressed me.





There is a saying: “Trust in Allah and tie a camel.” Strange statement, but it has deep meaning!





Once upon a time there was a wandering dervish, and with him a disciple and a camel.

Well, of course, if the dervish is wandering, then he is all the time doing this - wandering.

But the dervish, being an extremely religious man, not only wandered around, but also regularly repeated to the student:

“Trust in Allah. In every situation, trust in Allah.”

However, in addition to hope, the student had some other duties, for example, every evening, stopping for the night to tie a camel.





And one day, very tired of the day crossing in the heat, the disciple decided to finally rely entirely on the will of Allah and leave the camel as it is - free from any attachments.

What the dervish thought, history is silent. Whether he had fallen from his feet with fatigue, or was absorbed in the love of Allah, or relied entirely on the disciple. Well, he didn't.





When our friends woke up this morning, they found that the freed camel had decided to leave their pious company.

- Why did you not tie a camel, um, honorable? the holy dervish strained painfully through his teeth.

- Duc... well, well... I’m well... you’ve said yourself that, they say, this and that – hope in Allah... – the student smacked, rubbing the back of his head after receiving a slap.

- Trust in Allah, but tie a camel. And you know why?

- Why?

- God has no other hand than yours.

The parable made me think hard. To start doing something, changing life for the better, everyone can. Everything is in your hands, including home comfort and coziness in the courtyard. If you use any of the ideas presented in the photos in this article, I will be very pleased.





My neighbor gave me more than a nice evening in a nice courtyard. I wanted to change something, giving in to his mood! How often we are indifferent to ourselves and the life we live. Instead, you can create a new reality filled with meaning, beauty and wonderful people.
