Inside the cover is a bound book with no cover that demands the reader place the volume on a table and carefully leaf through its pages.
The insecurity of place and the lack of identity Sabella describes affects millions of Palestinians living under Israeli rule. And yet, they are also looked at with suspicion from their own people. While in Gaza on a photography assignment for the United Nations, Sabella and an Australian journalist are kidnapped by masked gunmen. On being freed after the distressing encounter, he rushes to Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv to catch a flight to Europe. He is then subject to a three-hour interrogation by Israeli security agents, because to them, he is nothing more than a Palestinian security threat.
While there is no positive ending in this harrowing tale of life in the margins, Sabella has a remarkable ability to remain positive. His will to love is his ultimate redemption. He is passionate about his bond with his wife, he is in awe of the natural beauty of Jerusalem, and the birth of this daughter gives him a sense of purpose.
The will to love allows him to overcome the crushing reality of having no firm place, no country or citizenship. The book opens with an exhausted Sabella sitting on a flight to Europe after the interrogation at Ben Gurion. The artist recalls the time he went skydiving in Haifa. Hurdling through the air towards the Earth, he felt free and limitless. His quest for identity was the furthest thought in his mind until the parachute opened.
But I will try my best, while staying safe, of course. Rutherford comes from a family of pilots. She's logged about hours of solo flights. She said she wants to inspire girls and young women to get into aviation and encourage them to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics, also known as STEM.
It's what she wants to do," Rutherford's father, Sam, said. Because 5 percent of pilots in the world are women. That's really not a statistic of which we should be proud. Rutherford's plane was specially fitted out for the journey. It's normally a two-seater, but an extra fuel tank now takes up one of them. That will also help erase any doubts about whether she's flying alone.
The Shark is too small for long-distance flying over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. For the crossing over the Atlantic, Rutherford plans to fly up through Europe and over Greenland. She'll head down through the United States, then back up to Alaska to cross the Pacific. From there, she will head across Asia back to Europe.
I will also be on the phone with my parents often and just friends and family," Rutherford said. But I have music lined up, I have podcasts lined up. So hopefully, that should keep me busy whilst I am up in the air for five, six hours at a time. The men's record for a solo round the world flight is held by year-old Travis Ludlow of Britain.
