The Gospel of Judas is a Gnostic and apocryphal gospel that records some conversations between Jesus and the apostle Judas Iscariot, transcribed not by Judas himself, but by Gnostic Christian followers of Jesus.

The word “soul” from the Greeklet's The wind, an immense yet invisible force. It allows the body to live by identifying with the very concept of life. The concept of the soul is seen in all cultures as an essential part of creation and of nature, always identical to itself. It is inseparable from the body, but bound to it.

Fumana ama così tanto la nebbia che a volte, quando si immerge in quel bianco opalescente, sembra ci sia qualcuno - o qualcosa - ad aspettarla. Le piace pure pescare con il nonno, la notte, sul sandolo, una lanterna a illuminare il buio della palude. E poi, da un certo punto in avanti, inizia a piacerle anche Luca: dopo aver fatto il bagno con lui alla pozza delle monache, torna a casa senza sapere bene che cosa le si agita dentro, e perché. La notte in cui è nata, la gente di Voltascirocco se la ricorda ancora, sembrava che l'Adige volesse portarsi via tutto il Veneto.
