Episode #5 - Our deepest fear

Originally recorded Oct 2007.

The title of the poem is “Our deepest fear” not “Dream of this” as I state in the podcast.  The poem is found on page 165 of Marianne Williamson’s book “A Return to Love”, published in 1992 and Mandela did not take office until 1994.

Anger as self poison

I’m sitting here in my anger, letting it control me. I know that this is not the way but yet I let the anger consume me. It doesn’t matter if I know another way if I don’t act in that way. It’s as though I know the benefits of washing my hands after going to a public wash room but I’m adamant that I’m not going to change my ways.

But what do I do? Do I think that my way is the right way, or should I do the healthy thing? Should I hold onto anger, poisoning myself in the process? Or instead should I learn new ways, letting go, embracing the present moment? I know that I can’t negate or stuff my anger, but I can respect it without being consumed by it.

I need to pray for those things or people that bring up anger within me. Or rather I WANT to pray for those things and people. When I hear the word NEED, I fight against it, even if it is the most healthy thing for me.

I hope and pray that I can let go of anger. That I can pray and mean it.
