Nothing is impossible

Asira ash Shamaliya -  Nothing is impossible. In the positive way. Go for it. Search for the highest feasible. Education is regarded as very important. Even if you have 6 or 8 children, take care they all go to University. It is as valuable as a passport, you can work abroad once you need to go into exile. People are very welcoming, inviting us 10 in their house for tea, coffee or a meal. Everywhere we see benches made of stone where you can sit and chat with your neighbours or strangers. The landscape is open, important in a country where life is limited in many basic ways like no freedom to travel or no freedom to use the own resources (water). On the hills you see a lot of new 'castles'. Kind of 'Chinese' tiled red roofs. Real estate is going up as Asira is close to the city of Nablus. 
But 'Nothing is Impossible' in the negative way as well. There is a basic feeling of unsafety. Home can be flattened by bulldozers, the village can be closed off from the outside world within 10 minutes, if you are only suspected of being a threat to any Israeli you can be shot on the spot by Israeli soldiers.
