Love the City

8 years ago I rented a small loft in this city. The Feeling I’m experiencing with my new arrival now is that of a past reality. An emotion linked to the past. By mental alchemy I can bring some of my Vancouver spirit into a modern Mediterranean frequency. Or is that just a dream?

Always have I tightly held on to the opinion that all is possible. It’s only a matter of how. Someone smart once said we must have goals and dreams and act on them, but how they come about stays veiled until the end.

Is it the sky that I Love here? The culture, the people, the possibilities? It doesn’t feel like my beloved North America, but a Feeling starts inside. So where’s the catch? Can we draw a line between the energy a place brings and the energy we bring to a place? All is possible.

This is where I switch from affected to affecting. A person with money approaches reality differently than one who has none. A person who leads the life of his/her dreams breathes differently than one who compromises. What do I Love in this city?

Self-actualization begins with knowing who we are. Traveling the world is one of modern life’s greatest gifts! To fuse cultures. To show an individual he or she is not the group, but a master of his/her own thoughts and actions. They move differently here, gaze differently, smile differently, use less makeup.

 

Thoughts are subjective but reactions are rooted into our reptile brains. Canada. Clean. Elegant. Fragile. As someone who knew this city like the back of his hand and Loved every polluted leaf of its ancient ficus boulevards, I'm fixing toward a Tel Avivian evolution.

How does it Feel 10 years in the future. An international resident who used a different playground than the one he grew up in. Marty McFly’s words back in 1985 were a high concept scientific fact: “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!”
