okay.. i was watching this movie.. 
(the Body, which was an excellent 
movie with a very interesting concept.. 
which i'll talk about later) but 
anyway.. this movie took place in 
Jerusalem.. and as i'm watching this 
movie.. this really interesting thought 
came to mind about ancient cities.. 
cities that have been around since the 
dawn of civilization.. and still thrive 
today.. cities that have simply always 
been.. and my thought was this.. do you 
think it's possible for these cities to 
have taken on their own kind of 
energies.. don't laugh! expand your mind 
for a minute and take into account the 
ruins that stand side by side next to 
the modern buildings.. the ancient 
cobblestone streets.. the walkways.. the 
paths that have born the steps of 
countless people through the ages.. 
morning to night.. over and over again.. 
the commerce.. the trading and the 
bartering.. the voices.. the rhythms of 
the city itself must at some point have 
sunk into the very ground that bares it.. 
and that energy.. or in the very least.. 
the memories of energies.. the recorded 
energies of it's history.. become the 
spirit of the city. and yes, i'm talking 
in some ways a moving.. growing.. 
breathing.. living spirit of the city.. 
the spirit of jerusalem.. the spirit of 
cairo.. the spirit of rome and of crete! 
each imprinted with their own unique 
rhythms.. their own breathing patterns.. 
their very own energies that they attract 
and give off. and if every building, 
road.. every brick and piece of stone 
were to be torn down and drug off of 
that piece of land.. the dust that 
remain.. the bare earth.. would hold 
the spirit of the city.. as if it were 
a being in and of itself.
