I think the depth of winter relates to a dark time in life when it seems that you can't go on, that the weight of life's difficulties are too much to bear. And, I think that the invincible summer slumbers within everyone, and is awakened when it dawns on you that, yes, you can do this. We are all stronger than we believe so let's put winter away and start living our invincible summer.
Albert Camus, Nobel prize winning author, journalist and philosopher was the second youngest person to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Camus died in a car accident in 1960 at the age of 46.
Oh, Linda! You have no idea how much I needed to hear this right now.
ReplyDeleteI am currently struggling with too many difficulties - making my life almost impossible to bear.
Thanks for reminding me it's NOT all hopeless.
Meleah, you are most welcome. I had you in mind when I was looking for this week's quote.
ReplyDeleteThat is a BEAUTIFUL quote. I love summer so much... and get a bit low in the winter with no sunshine. I love the thought of summer within me! Especially with snow coming tomorrow!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have a working computer again... I can read blogs now!
Oh, I like this quote and your interpretation of it. My favorite part was how you ended the post:
ReplyDelete"We are all stronger than we believe so let's put winter away and start living our invincible summer."
Now, that's nice:~)
Something we can all relate to from time to time. For many of us, that time is now.
ReplyDeleteBy searching for just the right words, I found that I somehow failed to respond to some of your comments. I'm sorry, but I do read each and every comment...always!
