In The Midst Of Winter

"In the midst of winter I found there was within me an invincible summer. That makes me happy because it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me there’s something stronger something better, pushing right back." Words by: Albert Camus in the midst of winter a rush of wind comes my way moving me forward it doesn't matter the push and pull of the world I seek my own life each day I cradle the hours of my existence, giving them my best.

Ah sweet rose, this is such an uplifting and soul warming chain of haiku. And you’ve written about finding ones own summer from within despite the changes of season or time all around in such a deep and poetic manner that would get readers to think and feel too with you, i feel your strength through your well woven words really. Absolute pleasure reading your work, sending you light always

Oh my, this is such a heartfelt chain of haiku, dear Rose.. This reflects profound depth in such few words, where introspective thoughts convey how those dark and light phases of life's magnetism don't influence our philosophical essence of existence.. We only strive to give our best and embrace each moment.. So beautifully compiled together, in such a gorgeous and heartfelt way, love this absolutely :)
