ABOUT
It’s a reportage about a meditation place in France,
I was there with a journalist on an early day, because each morning they meet in a small town house for spiritual exchanges and meditate.
The 2 and 3 pages, it's a narration : First the meeting with them, then, our experience meditation.
On the 3rd page, it’s about Soto zen history during past centuries in Japan and Europe.
A metaphor, balance between inside/outisde, black/white..
And, the last page, we are in their own garden.
And the "translation" is :
« We sow seeds. In Zen culture, we are taking people as they are. Here in this garden it’s the same,
we do what we can with what we have, and Nature does the rest of the work.. »
It’s the end and the opening of the reportage,
the beginning of the day too,
with the sunrising upon the mountains,
and pink, which is the color of cherry blossom trees..
