Depression

When the mind is so busy, filled with fear, pain and anger it is hard to be still. I remember so long ago when I had no peace. No rest from all that wihch seemed to fill my life with misery. I constantly thought about what was wrong and how much more there could be to turn bad. Life was in full rejection and I knew it. How could I go on?

It is easy to think of ending a life, but what of the courage it takes to do such a thing! In the final moment, it is normal to suddenly realise that life is worth living after all. Then suddenly, the clock stops ticking, the world starts turning again in a new way. Yesterday's issues are now by-gones as new ideas and new hopes emerge.

Just like a grub that has struggled to live, eating and working, you have (are likely) to curl up into a ball and withdraw; meditate; contemplate and transform, and as you do so, something wonderful is happening. You have become a butterfly; delicate, free and ready to fly off into the unknown, knowing that you can do anything!

So, what is anything? Simply to experience the world and the people in it with new eyes. To appreciate that life is full of plenty to do and plenty to create. So, if you are depressed; get up of the sofa, go out and breathe the air and notice your neighborhood. Yes, you are a part of it and it is calling to you. Someone out there is waiting for you! Go find them!
