Blues and Yellows

My blues symptoms show up as an inner amplification of a constant stream of negative chatter. I have to remember what helps: jump in a hot shower and bathe. Then, put on clean clothes and walk downtown with my dog Lily. Within seconds of the water hitting me I feel better. A few steps of walking outside participating in the energy of the city does wonders. Running into neighborhood folks is an added plus. When I am in receive-mode I wake up deep in the mud, moving slow with the earthworms. I have to work to get up to ground level where there's nourishing daylight. When I am in transmit-mode I have to do the very same things to achieve balance but this time my aim is to come down from the sky, slow down and land back on earth.
