Home to the Gold of heart
About Home, I have talked about my childhood place where I call Home, where I don’t need my private room. Now I want to tell you my being-home journey. Growing up, along my journeys, here and there… I have been sheltered under the roofs of many other homes.
The home where…
I was hosted in the house of a Christian family to celebrate Christmas in Italy.
I was invited to stay with of a mix African-European Muslim family in Switzerland to celebrate the Ramadan end.
I spent my retreat time living with Buddhist monastics in France, called Plum Village.
I used to stay with the owner, a Catholic nun, who was my friend, in a remote highland area of Vietnam during my backpacking trips.
I was indulged in good food by a rural Japanese family, during my studying trip.
