He had no eyes. His face ended just at the bridge of his nose. His body was a fragment.

The girl was standing in front of the statue of Igor Matoraj at the Piazza del Carmine in Milan. This isolated head, sculpted in bronze, was it suffering? Or had the spirit of the man already risen beyond his limited human existence and floated on top of the world, wise and knowing?

She took the incompleteness of the statue as an accepted image of the incompleteness of our knowledge at any time of our life. All we had were our intuition and the knowledge of our lack of knowledge, our key human qualities.

At that moment the clouds parted and golden sunlight fell on the rising architecture of the Renaissance church behind the statue. The warm, red glow of the building rose up and up towards the sky, and further into heaven.

She crossed the small piazza and headed over to the little restaurant at the corner where she would meet her lover. The warmth of the sun caressed her skin, and his smile touched her heart.
