and unlike in the wild, does not

Spicy scents from the ancient alleys stayed with me, faithfully, duringmy curious wanderings.
I was thinking about what would happen to me during the year and theastonishment in my eyes could suddenly burst into tears. When my sightgot stuck among the wind towers, I seemed to feel the Bedouins swords
that were crossed with blood.All that I could do was to buy an Abra for a few Dhirams to discover all
the secrets of Madinath Jumeyra, a fabulous mini city embraced by wate-rways, which traced a labyrinth of poetry.
Here, my dreams of astonishment were with the growing beat of myheart and the only way I knew not to let that magic die was a simple move;I pressed my finger on the metal button of my Fuji S1000 camera and I
fixed that moment in its vitreous eye for eternity.Neptune materialized, from house nine of revolution, in the bright reflec-
tions of the tiny waves generated by my little Abra and whispered to my earthat I would enjoy the sight of the majestic and bizarre sail shaped Burj AlArab, once I sailed.
The Arabian Nights of the white sheiks were lived inside it, among itsthousand golden columns.
I was on the Cheik Zyed Road, riding one of those Toyota taxis. Lou-
dly was the city calling me as the iron giants were kindly looking at me;sparkling skyscrapers stood up and covered the Burj Dubai, that arroganttower which challenges the sky, forces your nose to stare upwards andtickles the clouds up there with its 800 metres of height.
Moving from there, the Burj Dubai district, I could easily get lost in thesuqs; those markets where gold and spices were sold, where you can buy acarpet, imagining to jump on it and fly above the desert.
The red sand was staring at the dying sun as Venus appeared out of thepink sky that the alchemies of The Maker would soon turn into cobaltblue, the colour that has the power to release so many little flames and theGoddess invisible brothers.
A crackling fire was warming the hawks roosted on a little perch in aharem among the dunes, as the smell of the smoking sheeshas in the airvelvety spread into foreign nostrils.
I was lying back on the pillows gently set down on the sand and, fromthere, I could look up into the sky and feel amazed watching Orion sleep,as a desert native accompanied that divine marvel with the sound of histwanged instrument.
So, the breath of the night wind was dancing together with that music

and I continued to watch my future inside those signs; only that sky wouldgive me love, change my destiny and the course of the events.
In that moment I realized I was free, the secret guarded by the sky. Aman a thousand kilometers away had helped reveal this miracle because hehad been studying for years how to trick fate. This man of the stars persua-
ded me it was possible, using his heavenly mathematics.Thank you, master Discepolo, for making me discover that.I will be lifelong grateful to youGiuseppe Galeota (Al Rami on the blog)

Brief commentWhat do you think? Does it seem to be the lament of a person escape
being tormented by visions of death or is it the joy of a young man who hastried, perhaps for the first time, and realized the thrill of freedom and pleasureat having a say in planning his own destiny? Perhaps, the phrase make funof fate, is exaggerated, but not greatly so, because it was his joy of havingtea in the desert (as in The Sheltering Sky, a beautiful BernardoBertolucci movie) that our friend has enjoyed throughout?
Dear Al Rami, wish you a hundred of these fascinating birthdays!

2009 Bea Szedlmayers birthday, Brisbane, Australia.
Thanks to Ciro and the stars, I have had the occasion to spend two marvelous
weeks in Australia, Brisbane and its outskirts. During the trip I have remembered
the case of Ciros daughter, once gone for an ASR in Australia, where the dolphins
had accepted fish from her hands and on returning home, she had had a marvelousyear ... I too have offered fish to the dolphins, and I hope for a similar marvelous
year to follow!

This is the first album of photographs that picks up special memoirs of
easy and difficult birthdays, but always special birthdays of Ciro Discepolo,
his colleagues and students. Moments of great joy, of emotion, sometimes
also of physical and emotional discomfort, but always instants of cherished
feelings plastered forever in the frames of places at all longitudes and at
almost all latitudes of the Earth.
The trips, if understood in its bodily specificity in the background of a
metaphysical sense, is probably the most fascinating experience in the
life of each of us. As with the journey of Ulisse until the return to Itaca,
Ciro Discepolo is a journalist and a writer. He worked (at the age of 20)
for five years at the CNR(National Research Council) as researcher helper
and, for two years, as Electronic Measures Laboratorys head in the
Istituto Motori of Naples, CNR. Hes been dealing with astrology since
1970. He has written about sixty books most of them on this particular
