📘My Visit to Green Potato Fields||Dec 05, 2025||

My today was very different kind. I woke up with strange feeling, like my mind was heavy and also little bored. I did not want to sit at home. I needed some fresh air, something new for my eyes. So I thought to went to green fields 🌿. I heard people talking about that place couple of time. They say it’s full of clean green fields and it give peace to heart. I took my bike and left home. The road was rough in some places. But cool wind on my face was making me feel better. I do not know why but today I felt more relaxed than usual, like life slow down for moment. There was no big rush inside me.

After I reached green fields, first look of that place almost stopped me for a second. Everywhere I saw green fields, long long lines of crops and open sky. No noise of cars, no crowd, only wind and birds. It felt like I entered some different world, far from the daily stress. I went ahead and saw big potato field on my right side. But these were not ready potatoes. The potatoes were still under the soil. Only green plants and long soft leaves were showing above the ground. I never saw potato field this close before. I always see potatoes in bags at shops but I never think how they grow. So seeing the plants in real was something new for me.

The plants were standing in straight lines. All same height, all moving slowly in fresh air. Their green colour was very strong like someone paint them. Some dust was sitting on leaves but still looked beautiful. The smell of soil was strong like that pure village smell which we do not find in cities. That smell took me back to my childhood days when I used to visit my grandmother village. I stood there for a while only watching those green plants. It was a simple scene but it was touching my heart in some way. Maybe because life becomes too fast sometimes. These small natural things remind me to breathe slow.

A farmer was also there working near plants. I said salam to him, he smiled and replied with a warm face. I asked him, These potatoes, when they grow?
He said, Not soon my son, it will take more time. Right now only plants are growing. Potatoes under the soil still very small.
He talked with such softness like he is talking about a kid growing slowly day by day. Farmers have special connection with land, I felt that.

He told me they water to plants carefully and check them every day. When the leaves become bigger and stronger then potatoes start getting bigger inside the soil. I listened to him with real interest because I never knew this process before. I thanked him and looked at field again. The plants were dancing with wind like they are happy in their world. And I don’t know why but I also felt little light inside myself. Nture heals us without saying anything.

When I finally sat back on my bike, I looked once more at the fields. I felt like the greenery washed my stress. Sometimes we think we need big things to feel better but today I learned something else. Sometimes a simple green field, soft wind and a few quiet minutes with nature is enough to make our heart calm.
