The island, below me, is tiny and very beautiful, a jade gem in the blue sea.

I am soaring high in the sky, dancing on the gently breeze, while flocks of gulls divert from their path to come to mob me, like I am a true raptor, now.

When I fly, these days, I am happy.

They are the only moments when I am. My “bird brain”, like Dirk would call it, takes on, and all the crap that usually make my mind fades away.

All the moral questions now seems stupid. I need to kill to live. I have to be faster. I have to be stronger. I have to be smarter.

Or I will be dead.

Just like the eagle.

In a few hours I will be back in Italy. For the first time since one year and three months ago.

I came here to find a son I didn’t know I had.

And, still, I haven’t found him.
