CURRENT MISSION

to be happy doing what I really want to, and if I can't, to be happy anyway and taking interest in every moment of life.

ABOUT ME

Currently, I am on a 7 month sailing cruise transatlantic and transamazonian. Maybe I will go on round the world ?... Happy man whatever circumstances. Love calm and quietness. I like nature, sailing, trekking, sea and sun, immensity of the cosmos. I love meditation, siting in lotus. I love to love. I like working with my hands, create. I built my poetical artistical natural hermitage in south alpes.

PHILOSOPHY

the real is here and now ! The rest is in the mind, memories or projects. Situations are not good or bad: it is the way we look at them that gives the color>
