"BAPTISM"
Today is a different Sunday, not the solitary peace of the early morning hours along the lake between Macclesfield and Zenna where a few months ago I started corricchiare, but on the greasy side "of this beautiful Lake Maggiore, with a cheerful and talkative mass of suits, trousers, sweaters and vests that are also in memory of epic memorabilia business, international people wearing a runs today. In the program LMHM 2011 Lago Maggiore Half Marathon and I'm here too my first "race", another sporting baptism. And today we celebrate a kind of liturgy, there is fresh water to surround beautiful Borromean islands, there is a godfather, the devil portrayed by Air with hat and red gloves and a godmother angelic, hat and white gloves with Elena . And then the most familiar faces, of the runners from Mars: The Donald and her husband, Mark, Laura, Ivano, Hanna, Francis, Amy ... and then a crowd of onlookers with their numbers rose and blue, front and back. Ready, set and go, the race is like life everyday: lots of people running as fast as he can, trying to outdo the other, with a goal be achieved; discovered to be alone with yourself with doubts and solve problems that no one, if not getting a pat on the back, a round of applause and encouragement. A life that runs fast but is also very slow, and those 6 'and one km from a seemingly endless and throw it in philosophy, recalling a song of PFM, "Who are you, what do you think, you never feel alone, you who 're like live, what you're looking at you? Nobody Nobody is my real name is my name. "As an Odysseus who must go home, extension unfamiliar faces and places that are different when crossed on foot, meeting hundreds of" acolytes " volunteers who can make the party, facing the long final climb, and "arrival" accepted by a large round eye at the center of the face of that Cyclops is Antonio. The baptism is done finally, because of the inconvenient distance showers, immersing myself in the friendly waters of the lake, the world the trouble of a piece of life. To all, thank you, "à la prochaine."
