There's a special kind of magic that is created when mankind is able to truly connect with nature. So much of the time, stories are told of how humans are destroying the earth and the beautiful wildlife that used to roam the planet.

On the other hand, there are stories also being told of how the connection between a person and an animal is able to transcend everything else that's going on around us.

For 81-year-old Mette Kvam of Aurland, Norway, life had become a daily battle with the mundane. Years after the loss of her husband, Mette had resolved herself to a quiet lifetime of loneliness. If that sounds like the start of a sad story, hold on to your hat. This is the point where another creature was able to have a profound effect on the life of an unsuspecting soul.

About four years ago, Mette was staring out of her window as she was apt to do when reflecting on the state of her life. On this particular day, she was astonished to see a hungry stag that had wandered into her yard most likely in search of food.

Immediately, Mette was struck by the stag's gracefulness and kind demeanor. Her response was to offer the stag some bread she had at hand. Much to her pleasure, the stag indicated his approval of this fine snack by returning the next day when Mette would again give an offering of bread.

This continued over the next few days. At one point, Mette decided her new friend was worthy of a name, which she determined would be Flippen according to Inside Edition. Over the next few months, Flippen would return to his favorite feeding ground not once, but twice a day. Mette would greet him with his bread and off he would go until it was feeding time again. Soon, months would turn into four years of this procession happening every day.

Eventually, the scene was caught on video by neighbor Britt Haugsevje Vangn. What was very clear in the video was that a deep connection had formed between mankind and nature. To this very day, the relationship continues, and Mette seems very happy with her new companion.

If you have ever had an inspiring encounter with nature, it's something that we and others would love to hear about. Be sure to let your family and friends appreciate this beautiful story of friendship between Mette and Flippen.
