Anger safeguards its run of the house by keeping you afraid of it.
This way anger is free, unfettered and unmanaged. Sometimes, when most crazed, it likes to run around wildly wielding sharp knives and even shards of glass that may cut its own fingers, all without thought of possible consequence.
However, bringing mindfulness to anger and fear changes all this, and the gig is up!
Anger may puff its chest and try to scare you away again. It likes having the run of the house.
But patiently bring the mind back to anger.
Be kind to anger, something foreign to it. Appreciate its immense energy and strength.
Tame it with love. Gently soothe its pain and fitfulness. Listen to it patiently.
Yet, remain steadfast in not letting it push you away.
In the heart, anger finally can rest and give up its show. Sometimes its righteous message is truth. However, it needs to be counseled about not always getting and needing its way, and how this is beneficial to all.
Appreciated and respected, anger becomes disarmed.
When love holds it, this beast can be transformed.
