City of wind, Baku in Azerbaijan

The city of Baku gave me a completely unique impression that I have never felt in my life. Everywhere I went in Baku, a memorial tower, a cemetery, a palace, inside a mosque and in a part alongside the coast, etc., a special wind touched my heart that has been kept on coming from the Caspian sea from ancient times, and I received a message from Mother Earth that people have been encouraged to live on by this wind. I named Baku a city of wind and later I was told that in reality this was the very meaning of Baku. I acknowledged that I came to this unknown place guided by something much greater than human beings as I recalled that since childhood my life has always been encouraged by a special wind carrying a precious message and energy to live on. .And here, winds were blowing around without making a sound. I wondered what was the nature of this wind.
