When Heat and Humidity Build

Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck feeling dirty and gritty–The Lovin’ Spoonful.

Summer arrives at its peak months. Heat builds to a consistent 90 F (32 C). Humidity, liking consistency, matches the 90 with 90%.

The atmosphere reaches the point of too much pressure. It cannot live with such conditions.

Lightning dangerously connects heaven and earth. Thunder jars startled ears. Rain violently strikes everything in the open.

Then it’s over. The air is cool and clear.

Just so with us. The pressure of annoyances, insecurities, fears fills our viscera reaching the mind. We explode venomous words to whomever happens to be near.

Unlike nature, this seldom clears the air. This storm damages what it touches.

Better for us humans is the self awareness of feeling the pressures beginning and dealing with them with intention.

Deep breath. A walk in nature alone. Baroque music.

Finding a gentle release saving relationships and mental health. Restoring the soul.
