"Non cosìmiaao! Leggero! L'aria è un fluido, come l'acqua. Devi galleggiarci dentro. Se ti butti in miiaaaaooniera pesante, cadrai sempre.. Piuttosto, sei tutto intero?"
"Mmmfhh hfffcccc!" Che, se il gargoyle togliesse la testa da dentro la terra, suonerebbe all'incirca... no, meglio non riportarlo.
Non stanno andando granchè bene i primi tentativi. Il ciccione è sempre sbronzo da una parte, non si è ancora lanciato. Per ora stanno provando i gargoyles.
"Forza, tocca a temiaaaoo."
"Mah.. non ne sono proprio sicuro.."
"Miiiaaao si che lo sei! Avanti, è semplice. Ricordati i passi che ti ho detto.."
Che sarebbero:
1) Svuotare la mente - non troppo difficile per i gargoyle. Sono tutta pietra, ma la loro testa è vuota da sempre.
2) Pensare a cose piacevoli - dipende dai momenti. A volte è più facile di altre.
3) Una volta in aria, pensare che non si sta cadendo, ma galleggiando. In questo modo, se la vostra convinzione sarà abbastanza forte, anche l'aria si convincerà di questo, in fondo è un elemento ragionevole, e riuscirete a volare. Ecco, magari all'inizio anche solo a fluttuare, ma sarebbe già qualcosa.
Da quello che ho capito fin'ora, la parte più difficile è convincere l'aria, che non è poi così ragionevole. Il ciccione parla anche della gravità della situazione, ma a parte alcune cadute serie, non mi sembra che le condizioni dei gargoyle siano così gravi.
"Va bene. Passiamo ai due animali dell'uomo in rosso..." poi sento che borbotta qualcosa ma non ho capito bene..
Li porto io verso il bordo. Il Maestro Zorba li guarda, scuote la testa, poi sussurra loro qualcosa nell'orecchio. Dopodichè li aggira, mettendosi dietro di loro, estrae un singolo artiglio da ciascuna delle sue zampe e punge le terga di entrambi gli animali.
Il decollo è stato fantastico, praticamente perfetto. L'atterraggio è migliorabile. Quello che ci sta in mezzo.. mah..

Here W/O U
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

LearNing tO fLy
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
