Harold Dull

Il nostro amato Harold Dull ha lasciato il corpo la mattina del 31 luglio 2019.
Avrà sempre un posto speciale nei nostri cuori colmi di tristezza e gratitudine.

Condividiamo con voi un epitaffio scritto da Roberto Fraioli, grazie al quale Harold è arrivato in Italia la prima volta nel 1989.

“Lacrime calde
nelle acque calde di tutto il mondo
la tua anima fluttua libera e luminosa
in un Watsu round eterno
sarai sempre con noi
Harold,
Maestro
amico"

Nel gennaio del 2019 Harold diffuse le sue memorie: il viaggio della sua vita tra aneddoti, storie e immagini.
Memorie che toccano profondamente il cuore. Potete leggere il documento originale in inglese "Memoirs (a ninth draft) by Harold Dull" cliccando qui e scaricandolo dalla sezione Download.
