Day Fifteen

And another week-end is over.
No matter what we have seen, witnessed, thought, felt... the sky is always up there, linking us all together.

Maria looked out the window - or at least she tried. Talk about fog.

Maria - Chieri, Turin, Italy - 9.00 am

Around me the sky was just slightly more clear.

Chiara - Berlin, Germany - 9.50 am

Gabriella went for a walk through a pine grove, and then along the beach. While she was walking, she thought about the tragic events of these days, and a poem by the Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli came to her mind.

"E tu, Cielo, dall'alto dei mondi

sereni, infinito, immortale,

oh! d'un pianto di stelle lo inondi

quest'atomo opaco del male!"

"And you, heaven, from on high, above the worlds,

serene, infinte, immortal,

Oh, with a single lament of the stars,

you flood this opaque atom of evil."

[Giovanni Pascoli]

Gabriella - San Cataldo, Lecce, Italy - 10.36 am

Emanuela's cousin Yasmin took some pictures of the sky in Innsbruck.

And Rosita, a dear friend of Emanuela's who was in Paris, wanted to pay tribute to the lives that were cut short less than 48 hours ago. This ray of light is for them.

Rosita - Paris, France - 1.18 pm

In Trieste, Gaia looked at the sky and thought: Should I take a picture? Or could I just re-use one of those I took in the past few days? It is always the same!
She decided to take a brand-new one. Well done, Gaia! The sky is always the same, but it also always new!
