your perfect timing is an issue for me
damnit. you calling and always making everything okay is a chronic problem. for me to handle our biz, i need to stay angry. i need to channel rage. i need to be uncompromising and infuriated about this mess. i need to let this boil until i blow up.
you make that impossible.
you leave cute little random messages on my voicemail. you send me a series of texts that speak to our purpose and why they just don’t get it. you and i scheme about plans for next year. you ask for a fellow collective member’s address so you can send her a get well card. you share a poem with me.
so many issues that need to be dealt with but i’m so delighted to be in community with you, i can’t even really be bothered by it.
can you see why this may be a problem?
My anger has meant pain to me but it has also meant survival, and before I give it up I’m going to be sure that there is something at least as powerful to replace it on the road to clarity
