+Vous savez, moi je ne crois pas qu'il y ait de bonne ou de
+mauvaise situation. Moi, si je devais résumer ma vie
+aujourd’hui avec vous, je dirais que c'est d'abord des
+rencontres. Des gens qui m'ont tendu la main, peut-être à
+un moment où je ne pouvais pas, où j'étais seul chez moi.
+Et c'est assez curieux de se dire que les hasards, les
+rencontres forgent une destinée... Parce que quand on a le
+goût de la chose, quand on a le goût de la chose bien
+faite, le beau geste, parfois on ne trouve pas
+l'interlocuteur en face je dirais, le miroir qui vous aide à
+avancer. Alors ça n’est pas mon cas, comme je disais là,
+puisque moi au contraire, j'ai pu ; et je dis merci à la vie,
+je lui dis merci, je chante la vie, je danse la vie... je ne suis
+qu'amour ! Et finalement, quand des gens me disent «
+Mais comment fais-tu pour avoir cette humanité ? », je
+leur réponds très simplement que c'est ce goût de
+l'amour, ce goût donc qui m'a poussé aujourd'hui à
+entreprendre une construction mécanique... mais demain
+qui sait ? Peut-être simplement à me mettre au service de
+la communauté, à faire le don, le don de soi.
