Synopsis

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.
