Good morning friends!
I found a shard of depression this morning and used yoga and writing to shove it back out. Movement helps, but writing is what ultimately conquers any invaders 😀
A boulder snuck into my throat
As I began my sunrise salutations
Even deep breath couldn’t budgeDownward dog pressed outward
Monkey mind rolled it backI dug until its roots showed
Then flung it with my words
BluRose's Art and Words 
There is something soothing about connecting in movement – even when it is still a fight – to either move or calm the straining mind – to find the place where something finally gives way, and to be able to use the words in spirit to finally set oneself free.
Loved the brevity of this – and how well you “flung it out” … 🙂

I’ve been wanting to join a yoga class and this really makes me want to now.
Those shards really know how to sneak up on you, don’t they?

Yeah and sometimes they stay for days… I do yoga over Youtube called 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene. If you are interested, take a look: https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene

..Flung it with my words!
Love that 🙂 I think a lot of us writers/poets do exactly that everyday.
