A brief break from anxiety

As I walk down the lane on this crisp cold yet sunny Spring April morning I am wrapped in layers of anxiety, worry, despair. A moment later a gust of ice cold wind blows some beautiful blossom into my path, it’s almost as if the tree to my left had thrown a ball of blossom at my face. Whilst I follow the path of the blossom swirl past me to the right I notice a Robin landing on the smallest of twigs and it’s weight making the twig bend and I smiled and thought ” Don’t worry mate I feel your pain”. I take a few more steps and think to myself just how beautiful the world can be, then as if a Sgt Major yelling in my face anxiety brings me back to reality.

So if a few moments release is possible then surely that period can be prolonged.
