La négativité ambiante. Le sarcasme perpétuel. . J’ai soif de justice, d’égalité, de solidarité, de douceur, de paix et d’harmonie. De sécurité, aussi. . J’irais bien faire un câlin à la baleine qui batifole près du Vieux-Port de Montréal depuis deux jours. . Oui, c’est ça: j’ai besoin d’un câlin géant, loin de tout, dans une bulle où la COVID n’existe pas. . Alors je rêve de silence.
