State Representation

In the literary world, we mourn the passing of two esteemed figures: Katrin Wrobel, the editorial director of the acclaimed magazine DMag, and Isabelle Vaillancourt, editor of Les Débrouillards, published by Publications BLD.

As we contemplate these departures, author [Name Unspecified] invites us to ponder the idea that tiny, invisible, unattainable parts of us continually proliferate elsewhere. This thought is intertwined with the belief that departures are never absolute, and ruptures, fractures, never exist completely.

This reflection seems to be linked to the power of literature, a power that the author believes gives form to worlds. The author's faith in this power has led them to a prayer practice that, while initially religious, is no longer tied to a specific confession. Instead, it is imbued with a belief in the power of the spoken word.

The author practices a gesture that is barely spoken of or almost laughed at - praying. They suggest that there is a transfer or exchange between humans and the spaces they occupy. This belief is reflected in the author's desire for their prayers to reach the spaces they once inhabited, creating a connection that transcends physical absence.

In a lighter note, the poetry selection for the month of August is by Hugues Corriveau and Yannick Marcoux. For those seeking a healthy meal option for their weekly lunches, a carrot protein patty recipe is offered.

Despite the author's profound reflections on the Great Darkness and the repression of the Church in Quebec not being explicitly detailed, their work encourages us to consider the influence of people on the places they occupy. As we navigate through life, let us remember that our actions, words, and even our departures leave an indelible mark on the world around us.
