Anger
I wrote this on my Substack this morning ( a poem i wrote about anger)
Anger is not a bad energy, it can be a directing force, anger can be the signal we need to protect or to help someone else, ourselves too. The energy of anger can be transmuted into the energy of love, the energy of honor. Underneath the initial surge of fire, anger can be a guiding light to help illuminate us from the inside out.
Our anger is sacred. Anger is the fire from which motivation, determination, and tenacity can be birthed from. Anger was the un-welcomed gift from the previous generations sent to redirect me onto my current path as I have learned to lean into these flames with curiosity and tenderness.
Because when I have let that anger settle to the bottom, let all the dust and grit fall away, what is left is pain. Pain that is begging to be witnessed; the anger protecting me from my own sorrow.
Breathing in; I see the suffering undereth the anger.
Breathing out; I smile to this deep well of pain within me with tenderness and care.
I see you
I feel you
I am here with you.
