Matti istub haigla koridoris akna all toolil.

Matti sits on a chair in the hospital corridor under the window.

Päike paistab aknast sisse, heites päikese laigud valgele koridoripõrandale.

The sun shines in through the window, casting sunspots on the white corridor floor.

See suvi on olnud soe ja lilled aknalaual näivad rõõmsad.

This summer has been warm, and the flowers on the windowsill appear happy.

Matti ei suuda oma pilku nendelt ära viia.

Matti cannot take his eyes off them.

Talle tundub, et ta võib kuulda, kuidas nad sosistavad.

He feels as if he can hear them whispering.

Ta mõtleb, kuidas ta siia sattus.

He thinks about how he ended up here.

Paar kuud tagasi oli ta elus kokkuvarisemine.

A few months ago, his life was collapsing.

Stress, töökoormus, isiklikud raskused – kõik pressis korraga peale.

Stress, workload, personal difficulties—all pressed down at once.

Lõpuks ta murdus.

Eventually, he broke down.

Aga üks hella päikesepaiste päev, kui ta esimest korda neid lilli vaatas, tundis ta midagi uut.

But on one gentle sunny day, when he looked at those flowers for the first time, he felt something new.

Midagi erilist.

Something special.

Ta usub, et ta võib nendega rääkida.

He believes he can talk to them.

Liisa, noor ja sõbralik meditsiiniõde, astub mööda.

Liisa, a young and friendly nurse, walks by.

"Tere, Matti.

"Hello, Matti.

Kuidas sul täna läheb?"

How are you doing today?"

küsib ta naeratades.

she asks with a smile.

Matti vaatab talle otsa.

Matti looks at her.

"Liisa, ma usun, et oskan taimedega rääkida," lausub ta, sõnad tulevad vaikselt ja kartlikult.

"Liisa, I believe I can talk to plants," he says, the words coming out softly and timidly.

Liisa noogutab mõistvalt.

Liisa nods understandingly.

"Mõnikord me kõik tunneme ühendust loodusega," ütleb ta, kuid Matti teab, et Liisa ei usu teda.

"Sometimes, we all feel a connection with nature," she says, but Matti knows that Liisa doesn't believe him.

Matti otsustab, et järgmine gruppide teraapiasessioon on see koht, kus ta oma võimet tõestab.

Matti decides that the next group therapy session will be the place where he proves his ability.

Kõik istuvad ringis, sealhulgas Toomas - arukas ja range psühhiaater.

Everyone sits in a circle, including Toomas—a smart and strict psychiatrist.

Laual keskel on pisike pott väikese rohelise taimega.

On the table in the center is a small pot with a little green plant.

"Ma tahan täna midagi jagada," ütleb Matti ja tunneb, kuidas teiste pilgud tema peale koonduvad.

"I want to share something today," says Matti, feeling the gaze of others focus on him.

"Palun," ütleb Toomas, oma prille kohendades.

"Please," says Toomas, adjusting his glasses.

Matti astub ettepoole, tõstab potti ja keskendub.

Matti steps forward, lifts the pot, and concentrates.

Inimesed vahetavad pilke.

People exchange glances.

Matti sosistab vaikselt taimele.

Matti whispers softly to the plant.

Hetkeks tundub, et toas on haudvaikus, isegi taim näib tema poole kummarduvat.

For a moment, it seems like there's dead silence in the room, even the plant seems to lean towards him.

"Mida sa taimele ütlesid?"

"What did you say to the plant?"

küsib Toomas skeptiliselt.

asks Toomas skeptically.

Matti vaatab ringi, püüdes näha arusaamist või mõistmist.

Matti looks around, trying to see understanding or comprehension.

Kuid just siis, kui tunneb, et kõik on asjata, mõistab ta midagi olulist.

But just when he feels like it's all in vain, he realizes something important.

"Pole tähtis, kas te usute või mitte," vastab Matti rahulikult.

"It doesn't matter if you believe or not," responds Matti calmly.

"Mulle annab see lootust.

"It gives me hope.

See annab mulle rahu."

It gives me peace."

Toomas noogutab.

Toomas nods.

Matti ei tea, kas see on arusaamise või lihtsalt aktsepteerimise märk.

Matti doesn't know whether it's a sign of understanding or simply acceptance.

Aga see pole enam tähtis.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Ta on leidnud midagi, mis aitab tal paraneda, olgu see siis tõsi või mitte.

He's found something that helps him heal, whether it's true or not.

Matti naeratab esimest korda üle pika aja.

Matti smiles for the first time in a long while.

Ta on leidnud midagi, millest kinni hoida, isegi kui see on pelgalt tema enda peas.

He's found something to hold onto, even if it's merely in his own mind.

Kuid see on piisav, et alustad teekonda paranemise suunas.

But it's enough to start a journey towards healing.
