Clodovis Boff is a Brazilian theologian who embraced the preferential option for the poor. He divided his time half the year to the university and seminary work, and the other half with the workers struggling for life. In an interview with Mev in 1990, he shared how he recovered after experiencing a breakdown.
"I also do yoga and Tai Chi. I learned to drink tea in Japanese style, calmly, with serenity, without speaking about serious things. This is all so essential to recuperate our humanity -- to liberate what is most fine, most noble, most profound, most human within us. Life isn’t only struggle. It’s struggle and play! Work and dance -- like the Greeks and Spartans who prepared for war with ceremonies of music and dance! Five years ago we thought these things were bourgeois. Today we’ve rediscovered that they are good!"
