« Everything shows me that man in his complexity remains a being of flesh, blood, desires, fantasies, joys, dreams, passions. He loves, hates, hates. He desires, revolts, discovers peace, screams his pain, cries, laughs, alarms himself.... So goes the human being. Hence its wealth and the difficulty of living. »

« I like that there is something that goes far beyond what we see. I love a God who transcends everything, including his transcendence, to join us in the banal, the everyday. Zen helps me to dezing the image of a God who judges, scrutinizes and condemns the slightest misstep. I pray to this God with all my heart and soul. Praying means living, getting up, loving, going to the toilet. Never forget that everything is at the same time vain, precarious, fragile, perfect and unheard of. »

« I think, on the contrary, that it is a wealth, but for this we must go beyond the mortifications of the beginning. My inability to achieve perfect autonomy shows me daily the greatness of man. At the heart of my weakness, I can therefore appreciate the gift of the presence of the other and in my turn, I try with my means to offer them my humble and fragile presence. »
