[translated from original version in Portuguese]
It takes courage to fly through the air.
Not the courage empty of reason, or a blind act of faith,
but the one that grows as the wind touches the feathers,
and absorb the shapes and colors of the landscapes visited.
When one takes off, a path is chosen.
But the ways through the air flow in any given direction:
To one side, to the other, back and forth, up,
and down.
