The view from my window...

I’m taking a break. I have been studying Nuclear Physics all day long and for a moment I'll just take it easy. I'm watching through my window, having something to drink, looking at the sky, praying and dreaming.

On my desk, among my notes, there’s this beautiful picture of White Knight and SpaceShipOne, flying together, reaching that wonderful place that I think “is just the best place ON Earth”: THE SKY. I’m listening to “Ethereal”, my favourite track from Odonata, an album by Amethystium, artistic name of a Norwegian musician named Øystein Ramfjord. I wonder what he had in mind when he wrote it, and what he felt first time he listened to it. I just can’t think of something different while listening to it: White Knight and SpaceShipOne soaring above the sky, pushing SpaceShipOne to the edge of space...

So it’s a cool moment, and I tell myself “It couldn’t be better”. Yeah, I forget for a moment all my troubles and the things that are happening here, around me, and think that this precise moment of daydreaming and a glass of soda, while watching people passing by under my window and the skies above it, well, it’s just perfect. I love my room in Bologna and I’m definitively gonna miss it. This great view from my window will be left to someone else, and I hope he or she will enjoy it as much as I have. It’s a wonderful place.
