Arrival to the West Coast and quantum jump to Christchurch

A night has been spent recovering. A bit more before hat to find the car. As i called K the day before i started to feel not at ease with the place i was and i need to say it was so GREAT. Queenstown. Capital of the backpackers life in Nz, party everywhere, heaps of stuff to do as entertainment. Took the decision in the morining to do Hand Gliding. One of those things that you shit yourself just booking it and went in a unespected way. Tension was everywhere but from Locarno (highest bunjee in da world 220m done the halloween 2009 with Serena Giulia and Eny with the stones playing in the stereo) and paragliding in Nepal (pokara may 2010) i learned how to be in the air. So basically this time went with easyness, a total flow, rivers of bliss behind me
slowly run then fast
thought to run more far
already in the air

floating
no tension
no fear
no exitement

contemplation from a handgliding in new zealand

pure air

my driver is well experienced
a veteran of all air sports
invisible scars
all over his face
lines of freezing cold passed how many times on his skin
sure of what to do
how to fly
we float
go up with the wind
it's so simple
it's so easy
i can't get exited
it's overthrowing this stillness
i feel at ease


try to go up
catch the wind
masses of air glide up through the side of the mountina under us
hop on it
we're surfing the wind in the sky.

I ask for more
I want tricks
He answers with a smile
Throws the bar side ways
A 1 sec delay
we're 90 degrees on the side
SPEED
TORSION
ENERGIA

More times
several

The last one as we're close to the ground
a large curve has been started
closer to the ground
no on moves
green grass approaches
land field
we're still side ways inclined
get straight as we get closer to the ground
30 cm
10
Touch Ground
The wheels spin
feet touch the ground
Stop.









I'm High.
No smoke
No drugs.
I'm High.
In a state of full contemplation.
My mates shaking i sense it.
I'm sensing more everything.
Can't miss the steadiness of the drivers.
Inner blocks of marble
Trained to do what they like till bringing others to experience what they achieved

A deep Thank You arises.

And Yes I want the DVD with what i lived with me
55 dollars are sweet.
