| View of Haifa by noon. Personal pic. |
Have you ever been in a new place and felt a strange sensation of calmness, fierceness or load up with lots of new energy? Many times I traveled in different cities and countries and could not help noticing those places giving me a different feeling and a different stat of mind. It's not the people who live there that give those feeling to the place but in contrary, the cities have their own identity that reflects on us, giving us a different pace of time. In Israel for instance the place I live in Haifa there's a slow, restrict pace however in Tel Aviv there is a fast breathless feeling that make you want to run throw life sort of pace.
As a person who loves to write I notice each city have its own affects on people when it comes to think of inspiration, each city inspire you to do different things in different ways.
Haifa is a place of a great inspiration to me, the sea and the small forest, the old neighborhoods and the young, in Haifa there is a strange sensation of modern and wildlife, of new and old times. Lots of places in Haifa share the view of buildings, trees and sea. On the map Haifa is a tip surrounded sea, as a tall place almost every one get his share of the view who inspired me many times to write and to look upon my life in the right perspective, a small one. The view shows my power, the power of the human brain and the amounts of humans, the great power of nature and the serenity that can brought to us from the sea and the wind.
The small green valleys ignite my thought and make me wonder into waking dreams of animals, mystery and fairy tales. The little forest near my old home was full of boars, we could see them at morning and night with little baby boars running throw our road home, sometimes I notice a dog chasing baby boar and I could not help it to dream wild dreams and write about the closeness of the two different lives. I use to sit in my work room on my computer and hear the jackals howling out side my window.
I used to be afraid to come back home late at night, but one day I took a look at our many street cats on the block and thought how they handle with the boars and the jackals, they did not seem to be afraid of anything. Last night I face a female jackal and realize how afraid she is; now I don't fear of the wildlife under my window. A good base for horror story though.
The ocean is a great place to get inspiration of, the sound of the waves the warm feeling of the sand, the great chilling breeze and even the crows. That is a great place t hangs out in the quiet and read a book, or just lay, stare at the sky and the sea, and a great place to meet new people especially guys. When I need to clear my mind I go for a walk in the sea, it makes me want to write about it, to read about pirates and sea stories, to take a picture or even print it. There is a whole new set of colors in the sky sea that ignite my imagination.
Walking through Haifa can not help wonder what happens inside the buildings, the reason is the roads that lead there, there is many passages you can walk through, but only if you ware invited alas it could be confusing you might not get to the right place, you need to know the correct road to get to the right place. Many stairs goes up and down lead to hidden blocks surrounding trees and wild nature under the main roads, small passage ways who leads to flowers gardens and another hidden house.
And at last, the religions: Moslems, Christians and Jews and many more, I am proud on each religion of my neighbors. its inspire them as well as it's inspire me, religion is a great place to start looking for inspirations, mine I took from the church up the hill. The locations and the people and the difference bring out the good of me and I see my life in better eyes and though diverse ideas.
The place I live in is a great inspiration to me, maybe to others too.
