Jesus,
Will we talk in English?
Do you think you should talk to me more?
For you speak English well
and I need to listen English more.
Please empty my mind,
fill it with your words
and let it understand what you say.
Amen.

Prayer 180
Jesus,
Do you think I should practice Tai Chi and become a Tai Chi master?
Yes, you know all my dreams.
When I was child, I often dreamed I was a wanderer,
traveling everywhere with wind and cloud,
enjoying the little things in life,
doing whatever I feel right
(protecting people with my martial arts,
healing people by miracles,
standing up for the rights of the weak…)
and gazing at the single bright moon all night.
Beautiful dreams.
And dreams are born to live.
Live our dreams.
Do you think I should practice Tai Chi and become a Tai Chi master?
If I do, would you like to do with me?
I know you are a Tai Chi master, would you like to teach me?
I love you, Jesus.
Amen.

In April 2015, I was invited by the Cercle des Francophones (Francophone Association) of Hà Nội to present the film Loin du Vietnam (Far from Việt Nam) at the Hà Nội Cinémathèque. The film was made collectively in 1967 by some of the great names of new French cinéma: Joris Ivens, William Klein, Claude Lelouch, Agnès Varda, Jean-Luc Godard, Chris Marker and Alain Resnais, in support of Việt Nam’s resistance to US aggression.
