As Above, So Below:…

November 2022. I have now been to Belgium four times, to the “CHRYSALIS” sheltered housing. This place welcomes eleven people with mental disabilities who, like thousands of others, have not found refuge in France, either for lack of reception facilities or because of their behavioral problems. This place, within which many distresses are appeased, is imbued with great humanity. There is a real family spirit there, in which I feel…
