I had a sudden burst of anger last night. No matter the trigger--and since it concerns our art group, I do not feel entitled to go into it here--the outburst surprised even me. With my shrink-wrapped English up-bringing, I am usually perfectly capable of disguising it or keeping it bottled up. Last night, I did not make a conscious choice to let the anger out, it simply erupted. I would like to think that I was at least skillful in allowing it voice, but I fear that skill went out the window. Still, once past that first ignition and explosion, I found that I was able to stand back a bit and watch the anger turn to a slower burn and gradually recede.
My anger. I carry a bucket of it in the pit of the belly, roiling around like the molten magma at the center of the earth--and for the most part unnoticed--since childhood, certainly. A good thing to be alerted to it once in a while...
Luka arrives in a few minutes. Time to prepare for a different rush of energy!
