After his nearly 100 years of seeking, Franck’s reflections on
what really matters will help you to savor what truly matters in your own life.
"Could the meaning of being born human be, to become Human?"
This elegantly simple book of reflections presents the rich harvest of a lifetime of thinking, feeling, and seeing by an artist whose vital spirituality has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers and students through his art, books, and workshops.
The pithy, sometimes humorous, always wise contemplations reveal Franck’s lifelong confrontation with the human in himself and others.
Originally jotted down as reflections for himself and close friends, Franck’s insights will challenge you to consider new ways of experiencing your spiritual path and to savor what truly matters.

This elegantly simple book of reflections presents the rich harvest of a lifetime of thinking, feeling and seeing by an artist whose vital spirituality has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers and students through his art, book and workshops. The pithy, sometimes humorous, always wise and deep contemplations reveal Franck's lifelong confrontation with the human in oneself and others. At the age of 94, Franck still writes about "that something of unfathomable depth: that specifically Human, that divine spark, known in the East as Buddha Nature, in the west as the spirit of Christ." It is, he says, the criterion of what is truly human in us and allows us to recognise the Transcendent in all true paths. Franck's own sensitive line drawings and witty ornaments enhance the pages of this lovely book, creating a visual vocabulary that, combined with his words, make readers not only think, but see as well. This is indeed what matters, a concentrate of nourishment for head and heart.
