“Plumes de l’Envol” is a general writing workshop that brings together a group of half a dozen people every fortnight, led by Suzanne Ehrensperger Cuénod. “It’s a workshop where curiosity, imagination and creativity are the playgrounds for words and phrases”. The workshop has a website that publishes examples of the work that has been done there. I‘ve been taking part for three years. That evening, each of the participants had invented her own version to continue the opening sentence, the life of a leaf or the theft of a leaf, among others. As it was the evening I was at the hospital and I was a bit overwhelmed by what I was going through in relation to a family, this text came to me, in sharp contrast to the rest. It was quite disturbing for the participants that evening.
