I have tried to be content with the place I have resided in throughout my life, a regular village near Jerusalem, After some contemplation , I realized that The place I will choose to live will be calm and won’t cause me stress,” I said to myself, and kept on thinking of a calm place that has lake and trees .
From my early
childhood,When my parents took me to Tiberias for the
first time, I was literally shocked by nature's beauty and the amazing feeling of
freedom , Since that time, I kept on visiting the lake every year. I traveled
to several lakes and mountains in Italy last summer,. Every time I was
visiting the lakes there, I
wondered if a person who lived in
those lakes and mountains could be miserable?
“Lakes and mountains, —that is where I need to live,” I said to myself,
and kept on looking for the view, I tried to recall the most pleasant memories about
places I have been to, and to realize my needs of finding a way of
life, I thought the places that I might live in were Italy,
Austria , Peru…
After a period of
intense consideration, I stopped searching and chose to stay in my
country and to just make weekly visits to the lake of Tiberius .
I chose it because I needed mountainous
region, , suitable climate , the Kinneret area has been famous for its
natural hot springs, so for me it is the best place to live in.
I also think about living close to water, I totally agree with you about the quality of one's life, I am sure that living close to a lake or the sea does make you happier. However, like you I have always lived in the mountains...
ReplyDeleteIt is comforting to think that you found your 'lakes and mountains' of peace and quiet in your own country. I hope that we can all find our own answers so close to home!
ReplyDeleteI also love being near or on the water. I once heard this is a natural state for many people becasue we are subconsciously remembering being in the womb, where we were floating in water....
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I think each one needs to build his house in a place where he feels calm and relaxed.
