THERAPIES:

 The shell, the feather, the petal, the leaf, wind, breeze, rainbows, sun, moon, stars. Oh what a bounty of therapies abound have we at our fingertips. Close your eyes, & touch, feel, breathe, & sense. These are all therapies for the soul, so far removed from a bottle, box or packet....look around. Our sick & weary minds can fly free, let go. Feel that stone you picked up on the beach, cold & smoothe. Look up at that cloud above, floating just out of reach. Touch the moon beams, feel the sun´s rays, wink at the stars as they twinkle down upon you. Smell the slat of briny seas, run your fingers in mossy streams. Focus on the horizon & & know your dreams. We may need doctors, we may be healthy or ill, but whatever our health, we always feel better smiling at mountains & hills. Contemplate the silence & go within.
REALLY LOOK: at an egg, a perfect shape, the veins in a leaf, the bark of a tree. REALLY TASTE: rich chocolate, aromatic coffee, fruity red wine, the salty tears of joy. REALLY FEEL: your husband´s work-worn hand, your child´s velvet cheek, your dog´s silken head. REALLY LISTEN: to music, soft, deep, loud, fast, slow. Sing & dance, with someone, or even alone, it doesn’t matter.
REALLY READ: words, funny, poignant, daft, poetic, all words are valid. REALLY WEAR: colourful clothes, purple coat, red hat, yellow trews, feather & fun. If folk point & snigger, join in with them, it will give them courage to be like you. If you haven’t a mate, a lover, a friend, then make yourself that mate, lover, friend, because there shall be no better person to befriend than someone who understands that like you do. But remember, do not get down & feel lonely because if you look around you & know that you are connected to everything in this universe, you will see friends everywhere, & on your rambles through life know that your friends are the trees, birds, bunnies, butterflies, flowers. These are always friends, family & such good therapies, so smile & greet them on your way.
