pathway into infinity

A friend who knows me for a while
now and comes in contact with me
at least once a day
was curious to know if I ever get angry -
Yes, anger
Can arise once in a while
and when it does, I embrace
It. I don’t avoid it. I let it
be there.
I don’t ride on its back.
I feel It inside my body. I move
Inside it and feel it fully and completely.
Then it is no longer energy depleting
emotion. All it wanted was my attention.
My naked presence and acceptance.
direct looking in the face -
When you recognize it is there
It becomes a flower, pure awareness.
a pathway into infinity. It dissolves.
