The sun came shining and hot. We slept until mid morning when we woke up We were smiling and full of energy, despite the almost ten-day walk in the mountains we had left him not a few signs. We resumed the journey, but not before he made light of blueberries lifesaving. The trail ran fast, like a treadmill at the sides of which ran in turn banal images of trees, bushes and mountains. Things to fitness center. Images from Desktop, Swiss stuff, natural paradises that seem fake. He began to mumble a melody absurd, those who used to invent when he was lost in thought. They passed this way two or three hours. Then we began to hear the murmur of the river in the distance. We stopped and looked into his eyes, thinking - is done, we have now! - And reading the same thought in the eyes of others. It was a moment, and immediately began the descent. We held hands and went down very fast, approaching the goal. The muscles, the knees bend slightly, his arms to maintain balance. But the legs are light, the steps do not make noise, a noise almost imperceptible, perhaps, dampen the sounds around you to become inconsistent, which cancel out, the pounding of my heart that you get to the head. We arrived at the river, gasping for breath, and in the blink of an eye we were already shirtless, arms thirsty immersed in water.
