“WE HAVE TO DARE TO BE OURSELVES, HOWEVER FRIGHTENING OR STRANGE THAT SELF MAY PROVE TO BE. (May Sarton) I am learning that anger — that burning fire in the belly — contains profound gifts. It is the alchemical process that allows us to deepen our connection to one another by peeling away artifice, hurt, pain, and slights. Anger contains a tangy power. It gives us our voices. It is exists to set boundaries and to protect us when we are hurt. Anger is not meant to be a weapon. It is a means to be heard and acknowledged...The point is, we contain all of the various emotions that life gives us. We cannot deny all our selves a spot at the table of life. Whatever we repress, will show up as rage or sickness or strife. I’ve decided that speaking my truth, no matter how painful, is infinitely better than swallowing the rage I feel or numbing myself to the outside world. Shavawn M. Berry
