“it is obvious that all vices have a grievous effect on those who indulge them and often on others too. But I believe that the one which can transport us with the most unbridled haste into danger is anger. This is nothing other than a sudden thoughtless impulse, provoked by some perceived offence, which banishes reason and clouds the eyes of the mind, rousing the soul to blazing fury.
-Giovanni Boccaccio, Decameron
Well, I have to accept that of the five emotions, anger is the most familiar to me and the one that drives me to provoke creative outcomes. At times, I have to give it time as my responses should come from a place of contemplation and not spite.
When I was little, this emotion fully drove me, and I have been able to surrender the bile and transform it poetically through somatic practice. Sometimes it is senseless and could erupt when I have become severely deaf to my instincts. This happens when I don’t measure the space I need to care for my needs first.
