I leaf through the album of my life and memories flood in. I was born in France during the second world war when the fury of the Fuhrer was devastating Europe. Then the exile in a far-away island: Madagascar. The return to the homeland after many years and finally Brazil. I was a member of different groups but I left them all. Like in the film "The Last Samuraï" by Edward Zwick I had to trace my own path. The time has come for me to share some of my reflections and the quintessence of my experiences. I have the conviction that each of us has a lucky star at the firmament of his destiny but, sometimes, we have to struggle a lot before finding it. It is my fervent hope that this book will rekindle the flame of creativity and love in the readers. May it contribute to the awakening of humanity.
