Let That $#!% Go
Just for today
Consider that holding anger is like holding a hot coal
And not throwing it.
So if you’re carrying thoughts about getting even, or withdrawing
or of having been wronged
or are feeling a little bit like a martyr (surprise!),
Then imagine that you are standing on a high cliff
looking out to sea
and throw that anger as far out and away as you can
watching it sail into the air
and drop into the waves
hearing a faint hiss as
it transforms.
************
In what ways might you be holding sneaky anger, that you didn’t realize until just now? Give it a windup and launch that hot mess. Can you feel your palm no longer burning?
It’s not your job to fix it, only to launch it.
