I wonder if *this* means anything...but I've learn't to take nothing for granted in my decades of suffering the worst of this 'illness'. (Like we all have.)Today, as I am driving down by this pond where I used to skate when I was a little guy, and it is in full winter-dreamscape view mode, and I've got a beautiful piece of music just cranked on the car cd player, I am deeply *touched* and *moved* by the scenery. (The music helped too.)
I think to myself..."Man...when was *the* last time I felt that???" So, my 'little baby soul' (this, sometimes cranky and whiney, but sweet and tender little female infant inside me..kinda like my 'female' inner child) is *responding* to this strange, but sometimes beautiful new world around her. No tears; no shouts of anger and pain; just a bit of a small *gasp*...and a tiny smile that lights up my heart.
I've also realized...these are the *things* to erase the tools of depression and anxiety. The medications do their little bit...BUT..this is, 100 percent, ME.
So...tommorow...I am gonna take my 'little baby soul' out for a ride again. How do you soothe a cranky infant? Take them out for a ride...
Peace...
~Jay (and the 'little one':-)

Early morning. The sun is hiding behind some distant clouds, but rays of light are poking through. Shafts of pink light lluminating some thin clouds in the foreground. I stop, pause, and take it in.
Before moving on, I glance to the side. There's a statue in front of a church. Someone has placed red and white flowers at the base. The colors are vibrant.
Continue walking.
Then, stop.
Hey, wait a minute...
"Ohh, brave new world..."
Yeah, I could get used to this.

Wow. That is an interesting way to think about that kind of experience. Thanks. I think I will use this.
It is nice when we can be in touch with the "baby soul" in a happy way! Usually it is unconsolable.

Tis true, Noa. That is a poignant picture.
