When I was working with one French organization I had time to visit the country mostly for training and then I made friends ... life long friends like Gerard Maillet, he's my French Uncle. He welcomed me in his home when I went there with another friend Nestor whom I also met when I was there for training.
I went several times and every time I will go to Verze by train from Lyon and stay at his wonderful house and we always spend an afternoon and evening of prayers in Taize. Gerards was surprised I knew about Taize and when I told him I knew about it and knows the songs he gladly drove me there and we spent lovely times together.
I miss him, miss our time together and miss Taize. Next time I find myself in Europe I hope I could swing by again and visit this place on earth where one can find tolerance, acceptance and rest for the soul and tired feet.
