Someone asked me which of the many cities you have lived in and loved, do you love the most? What a hard question!
As i experience cities as people, and i love many people–my heart has a wide circumference!
In terms of daily living, i would say Antwerp and Prague, but Jerusalem was so layered, it was like a poem which you just couldn’t get to the bottom of. But in terms of my identity, i think Antwerp would be up there. She values good conversation for its own sake.
The friendly curious creative way there, and blend of cultural perspectives in open friendly jazz like dialogue. And i like ports, where cultures converse.
In terms of American cities–i like Cambridge, Mass (where i went to art therapy grad school) lots! And of course, San Fran for the depth of lifelong friendships i made there. And of course, Richmond, Virginia has a soft spot in my heart, as i studied art and religion there with my remarkable mentor and made many life long friends. And Spring is hard to beat in that region of the world.
But Austin and Albuquerque have also been faithful friends to me. Just thinking about cities I’ve loved today, as i write a little article about my own life’s long love story. (a comedy to be sure!) Cars, cities and people, it is called. I’ve been blessed to live an adventurous life! Thankful to have loved so many.
