lets talk about it. . .

beheaded, canon 20 d
anger.
do you pray?
do you scream?
do you smile and breathe?
do you practice remaining unattached from the personality?
do you get to turn the tables over in the church and yell?
do you stuff it until you get so depressed you need meds?
do you spill it out on people who cut you off on the road?
do you turn it into tears and cry rivers from your eyes?
do you work out? do you call your girlfriend and vent?
eat? drink? meditate? journal? smoke? shut down? explode?
so many of us learned along the way that our anger is
inappropriate, or bad...its "unpretty"
and it certainly isnt "zen" like.
while i try to live my life from a basic core of loving kindness,
i still believe that anger is a perfectly normal and acceptable
emotion to feel. and yet sometimes i am totally confused at how to
manage it when it arises.
