Why?
Do you ever get angry
or filled with rage
and just want to scream?
Does anyone or anything ever
make you want to say something
that is not gentle, loving and kind.
Seriously, just once,
just once,
I would love to see you get angry.
I sat, listened, and got quiet.
It is not that I do not get angry,
I do.
It is just that I try to think before I speak.
I take a moment to not take it personally.
I think about what I really want to say
and ask myself is it truthful – most likely,
is it necessary – at this moment it might feel like it
is it kind – not at all
and then i quietly said.
Yes, there are people and moments
that press my buttons
and get on my last nerve
and then I realize that they are MY buttons
and MY last nerve
and I become grateful for them or the situation
because I know where I must heal next.
What I struggle with the most
is watching social injustice,
hatred of any kind against any people,
even my adversary.
We have all been exposed
to lies and disinformation.
My job is not to build walls
by furthering the divide.
My calling in my life is to build bridges,
which is so much harder,
and takes more time.
I thank others for sharing their opinion,
but ask that next time,
because there will be one,
they ask if I would like it
because I most likely do not
or already know it
or that they offer me their truth
with the same love
they would like me to share mine.
I express what I am feeling,
just not in a way that
might sound like it.
These words might not sound angry,
but it is how I sound
and what my heart, mind, and soul
allow me to say
and then it gives me permission to ask you
why?
