Anger and the Deep Water

Anger comes to noble natures, but leaves there no strife or storm: Plunge a lighted torch beneath it, and the ocean grows not warm.

Some stretches of a chart run hot, and feelings arrive fast. Anger can visit without taking over. You can give it enough depth to land in, so it passes through without setting the whole day alight.

If anger rises today, breathe out slowly five times before you reply. Later, write one line about what the anger was protecting.
