Lis and the "Mad Flight"

 1. Learning to Fly

Somewhere in Europe

                                                                                                                                             

For a long time I had been scared of flying again.

But now I feel it's time to untie the hawsers and sail again in the big sea of Being.

Just like Dante's Ulixes I want to go for broke, givin' chase to virtute e canoscenza.

I've got my wings broken by the cyclons; anyway I still feel like flying.

Paradoxes of my restlessness are scattered

from a Eugenio Montale's poem to a bus leading to the airport.

But now let's banish the ancient ghosts and start travelling again.

So let's get on board, leave and fly!
