When your inner world is melting, focus on the tangible, external, physical world. Stop the meltdown. Calm your brain. Stop the spiral from continuing. Instantly, old habits snapped into place. Find all the things that are orange, anywhere around you. Name them: Shoes. The printing on the odometer. The logo on that sign over there. That woman’s jacket. Skateboard. Stupid, ugly bike. The background image on a stamp, poking out from a pile of mail on the passenger’s seat.
