Monde merveilleux et sans limite qui m’a ouvert ses portes et ses bras à l’adolescence, qui m’a protégée des chaos du mal-être de cet âge bête et ingrat, qui m’a bercée et consolée, où j’ai trouvé des échos et des béquilles pour rester debout et avancer. Monde qui continue de me porter, haut et fort, chaque jour de ma vie, qui insuffle à ma verve le verbe de la création.
