It is going to take some time for me to fully accept that Phillip Zarrilli is no more. Phillip, as I knew him as a friend, continues to live in my mind's eye with memories of ceaseless conversations, exchanges of letters and interactions in different parts of the world. Just three months before his death on 28 April 2020, we had met in Kerala, his second home, in the town of Kunnamkulam, where we had watched a high-voltage, virtuoso performance of the Kathakali play Duryodhanavadham (The Killing of Duryodhana) by the Kerala Kalamandalam troupe, which we thoroughly relished. I have rarely seen Phillip more relaxed and happy as I remember him in Kunnamkulam. While he was, in all probability, aware that this was going to be his last trip to Kerala, he was making the most of it, reminding us that he had come full circle by returning to the state which had nurtured his initiation into the martial arts tradition of kalarippayyattu.

对于菲利普：记住一个朋友

我需要一些时间才能完全接受 Phillip Zarrilli 不在了。菲利普，我认识他是朋友，他继续活在我的脑海里，回忆着在世界各地不断的对话、书信交流和互动。就在他于 2020 年 4 月 28 日去世前三个月，我们在他位于昆纳姆库拉姆镇的第二故乡喀拉拉邦会面，在那里我们观看了一场高压、艺术大师的表演。卡塔卡利玩杜尤达纳瓦达姆（Duryodhana 的杀戮）喀拉拉邦卡拉曼达兰剧团，我们非常喜欢。当我记得他在昆南库拉姆时，我很少看到菲利普比他更放松和快乐。虽然他很可能知道这将是他最后一次去喀拉拉邦，但他正在充分利用它，提醒我们他已经回到了培养他开始进入武术的状态。艺术传统卡拉里帕亚图.
