About

author, teacher and musician.
pilgrim

The articles published throughout the pages of this blog, like ice cores, reflect the strata where the shards and dust from the trail were deposited.

An instinctive practice of silent sitting since childhood, and through the various conditions of life,
later encountered the form of Zen Soto,
and found there a coherent and open framework and environment to protect it and help it grow

What followed were 7 years of intensive attendance at the Funzo Dojo (Teaching of Patrick Malle, Zen Monk, Doctor and Acupuncturist, disciple of Taisen Deshimaru – Sawaki Lineage),
then several escapades to the temples of Japan (Kyoto, Uji, Nara, Kashiwa, Tokyo…)


Return, opening…

7 years to learn… to return
to the isolated cabin, to liberated practice, to silence
Through all this noise, this jumble, these gesticulations,
these pretensions, too…mine…

Suffocation of the anticipated dead-end
Dryness of stagnant waters
Being fished out in the dead arm circular observation

Today I (re)discover the Christian teachings, in their depths…
approached in childhood, then at the beginning of adulthood,

Return to that which has always known,
To the Divine, to the Heart Of Christ, Heart of Zen, always present,
beneath all wanderings

Silence
