☆  soul  活気

============================

Your soul is the part of your that consists or your mind, character, thoughts, and feelings. It is your spirit, your heart, your essence, your vitality. When we talk about a person or place that has soul, we mean that it is vibrant or has a spark of life.

I read an interesting article a while ago about the UK and Europe and how they were trying to bring more art and culture to the cities. The government is slowly realizing that a city cannot “live” by concrete and glass buildings alone, it needs a soul. One way to do this is to have artists create art around the cities and bring a vibrant feeling to the concrete jungle. This is happening around Adelaide, too, there are now many huge murals and paintings covering the sides of buildings throughout the city – rather than just random graffiti – and it looks great, the concrete buildings seem to have soul and to be a living thing. I love it!

Bye,
