Oh gosh, I feel like I am wandering around in the beautiful catacombs of Abbey's mind. It is delightful and full of wonder, and then I am brought stumbling into a quiet gallery having only three displays - a song, a poem, and a way to make my way forward. This essay is a very good read.
This essay was a good read and on good time. I have always reacted poorly to people passing their suffering at me with anger but I never considered it was actually lessening their suffering. That idea changes much and makes breaches I don't always understand have a light about them.
Over the Rhine used to play a festival I helped run in another world. Good folks.
Thank you for sharing this, Abbey! My therapist has gently reminded me that anger is a secondary emotion and what is usually under it is sadness or fear.... which feel far more vulnerable to feel. Was so glad to read the poem!
Abbey, I needed this today. Thank you.
