Whenever I am disturbed or depressed, the reason is that I have distanced myself from nature; nature out there and my own nature.
The remedy then is obvious, to go in the lap of nature. If, possible I go for a walk in a park, sit by a mass of water, a flowing brook or a lake with my feet in the water, listening quietly to the musical sounds nature produces.
If this is not possible then go to the back yard and tinker with the plants growing there.
Sometimes I listen to classical instrumental music. This has always quietened the mind and the priorities get rearranged in a natural order.
At such times words are a distraction, because they engage the mind in finding meaning within the usual intellectual structures, which are the cause of the disturbance in the first place.
How can they help?
Silence and surrender to nature always helps.
