Vous sentez combien cette racine est inspirante, invitante, et agréablement parfumée ? Nous l'avons confiée à « la-poétesse-aux-mots-puissants », Fabienne Swiatly.

Pour l'illustration, nous avons choisi « la-peintresse-aux-gestes-libres », Pascale Lefebvre. Ses peintures sont libres comme le vent, le souffle de vie, l'âme, et nous apportent dans le même temps repos et apaisement.
