summer full moon in venice

I was around my twenties, we were spending some days at the seaside, on the Adriatic coast.  On a beautiful full moon night we went to the sea to take a bath. It has always given me excitement shivers to bath at night. The moon was big, the sea calm, the night was splendid. After a while we thought we could go to Venice. Why not, it was such an enchanting night!  In less than two hours we were there. We left the car and we decided to walk to piazza San Marco. It was half past twelve. And the little "calle" were quite desert. Yes, tourists have always been in Venice, but not as much as now.  We deeply enjoyed that solitary walk in Venice, on a full moon night, in the silence of that magic night. When we arrived some people were still around. There is a famous, ancient, cafe there, with music. We sat there, we enjoyed the music, the atmosphere, the whispers, and of course a good gelato.

Wings

What an awkward day!
Strong inexplicable pressure inside, everything pulsing, whatever I approached didn't work, growing frustration and uneasiness... 

At some time in the afternoon I gave up. I took out a rune for me: Dagaz: the passage from one state to another... But incredibly, tooking it out, I saw the rune was broken! Couldn't understand how possibly the stone would break in the bag I keep them!

Finally I decided to lie down. What a strange thing happened. I felt myself suspended in some dark cosmic environment. It was so calm and totally still, motionless. I realised then my entire undefined being was in total intense fibrillation. As if composed by millions of energy sparks in constant movement, so that it looked like a Kaleidoscope of lights, glittering, changing colours and brightness.

I understood that I just needed to accept, welcome, this twinkling being who was me. I didn't need to move or do anything, as the universe around would naturally adjust to me...

At some time I felt my shimmering shape becoming taller and thinner. I realised the body looked like a rod with something attached that gave me the idea of a flag, somehow fluttering wildly while strongly glowing. I perceived the "flag" being attached to the upper part of my back.

Eventually I realised the flag was in reality wings, still stuck together, but trying to liberate themselves and become two distinct wings.

Me, within that shimmering being, in total surprise and awe. Realising I had wings! I felt them strongly attached to my back, between the shoulders... 

When I got up, the feeling of the wings continued, and still now that I am writing, they are still here!
