Wonderful newsletter Summer with much to deeply ponder. I like Camus very much and this quote resonates with me. I’ve gone through a very dark time. I liken it to being in a pitch black cave, but sometimes being in the darkness, or in Camus’s case the darkness of winter, is when revelations come. In my case eventually I could see the pitch black cave had an opening. I could see the outside sun. Bit by bit with struggle I moved closer and closer to the cave’s opening and the sun outside it. At this point I am right near the opening and can feel the sun warming me. I’m not standing in the sunshine just yet but I’m close. I’ve learned through this difficult, dark experience that sometimes it takes the dark experiences in life to change us and make us more receptive to a different kind of path than we had been on before. It also helps in a new appreciation of the sun’s warmth at the end of it all.

So true! I understand you perfectly.

I really loved this quote and had to share this invincible Summer!

Very fitting quote for me. Sometimes an ordeal can take you to a new and potentially better place. They also can cause a person to cry off and on for no particular reason. Add the planets retrograde. Pisces is my sign and the retrograde is in my sign before it moves onto the other water signs. Almost over for Pisces thankfully because it interferes with our emotional state and intuitive natures.

It is always, or almost always how you react to it. But also circaan have a great effect.
