ABOUT ME

I am curious to discover the world in general and in particular new territories of my own mind through meeting people.

PHILOSOPHY

I love the depth of this haiku:
Sans savoir pourquoi
j'aime ce monde
où nous venons pour mourir
(Haiku, trad. Corinne Atlan et Zéno Bianu, p.191, nrf, Poésie/Gallimard, 2002)

Interests

I am a high school teacher and love my job. I find that in order to keep a fresh mind and remember what it is to learn, one has to put himself in new unsettling experiences. That is what I am trying to do by going to Japan and learning a new language. I also love to practice ikebana and to cook.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Enjoying my family and feeling so grateful I have these people in my life. Taking students to live with families in Senegal was a strong point in my career.
