Notre �poque, fascin�e par les mythes d'Ulysse, par les embl�mes de la sagesse active, a un peu oubli� les vertus "passives" : la patience, le renoncement, le d�tachement, la pure perte de soi. Non plus la prise, mais la "d�prise" de Roland Barthes, l'abandon, le d�tachement de Ma�tre Eckhart, le fait de "se laisser aller en soi, au repos de soi", de "faire le vide" et le silence � l'int�rieur et � l'entour. Le lieu en nous o� cesse toute arrogance, o� l'on acc�de sur la pointe des pieds, l'"existence minimale" accueillie avec une juste "retenue".La "pure perte" est telle seulement si elle garde m�moire non de la perte mais de la puret� absolue de cet effacement sans traces.
