I discovered within me an invincible summer.
Painting: River Abstract
In the midst of winter
I discovered within me,
An invincible summer.
- Camus
. . .
Like a compass on the bridge of a storm-tossed ship
We search for the inner strength, inner equanimity
To keep our bearings
When chaos prevails around us.
We pray for the inner peace
To live with calmness and serenity
And create our work and lives out of that invincible summer.
