« I live thanks to this grilled trout, this pickled cabbage, this lemonade and my wife's smile. Later, Junho will help me shave, then my good Korean teacher will call me on Skype claiming progress for only salary. To offer yourself cures of gratitude, to re-educate, to restart at any age. No, it is not to keep Mr Coué company to focus on the good. I pester in front of this filthy dish, but I forget to rejoice in this dish well prepared every day by my wife. No, it's not a bad thing to marvel! Getting closer to reality, opening your eyes, being there. Focus on everything that's going well. This is annoying, and it is not lacking, will soon remind us! To say thank you, deep down, is to feel that everything circulates, is shared, given and received. One more step and, on some days, I can even show some gratitude for the ordeal and the handicap. Master Eckhart helps me: "God gives everyone what is best for everyone and suits them. To cut someone's clothing, you have to do it to their own measure; a garment that would go to someone would not go to the other at all. Everyone receives as best they like. Thus, God gives to everyone what is best for him, what He, who knows, recognizes for the most suitable; (1) Dreadful conversion of the gaze demanded by the mystic. Everything that happens is the best for me, even that huge tile that falls on me. The chance is to do with his bad luck. If from my heart thank you comes out, even more from my mouth escapes good blood,, I'm sick of it. Everything is exercise, path of liberation.. »
