"Not being outraged by anything is a superpower."
James Pierce
There is a furious little man running around in my head! His fire has grown so strong, I am no longer certain about his origin. Aghast, I stand back in wonderment as I am a person who is never angry, just hurt feelings. All I know is that the flare from his burning coals is distorting my vision and hurting my soul.
I can be a warrior, but I thought those days had passed. I feel vulnerable as though life is happening to me without any sense of control. I know fear is the fuel as I grow confused about the unfolding of the world and the ravaging of nature. I have such compassion for others, but collective discord is wearing me down.
So I sit with inner visions of light, choosing language to acknowledge and release this little man of fury. I will move beyond the shame of anger as I muster courage to be a source of calm. I will linger in each given moment remembering that I belong and that I am not alone. It is okay, this anger of mine, as long as I just let him go.
