Other people’s words about … the sky
Axel … breathed out, trying for calm. He tipped his head back, looked at the sky, wide and empty of trouble. His heart slowed. The moment passed.

Oh, that beautiful sky …
(tales from the birdgirl)
Lovely pix! The sky is an anchor for me, too. No matter where you are, it is as well. There is something reassuring in its constant presence.
What a lovely turn of phrase, Eliza — ‘the sky is an anchor’. I love your wording because anchors represent being grounded, attached to the land, and yet the sky represents the opposite, infinity and the heavens, if you know what I mean?
And yes, I think that as far as anxiety management techniques go, simply stopping to look up at the sky — wherever I am, whether I’m inside a building, in a street, by the beach, in the bush; and whatever the time of day — is honestly the most effective one I know.
