Take a moment to remember how many times you’ve been angry or irritated this week. No really, check in with yourself. Were you angry once, twice, two hundred times?

Maybe something tiny triggered you. Maybe something massive enraged you. Maybe your anger feels so constant you don’t know life without it. The scriptures honour all of these layers, and when we lean in to listen to their words, we will find wisdom for all our anger.

Like, there’s a way to be angry that gets to the heart of the matter. And there’s
a creative force to our anger that can address injustice. And there is a need - yes, a need - to feel our anger all the way through so that it doesn’t become our worst enemy.

So let’s not be afraid to tackle anger in this series. Let’s sit quietly enough to listen to what’s going on inside of us and imagine a world where anger doesn’t need to be hidden but can be harnessed to bring about the renewal of all things.
