There is a Chinese proverb which says: When angry don’t go to law, when hungry don’t make verses. Allow me to share how deeply the wisdom within these words confronts my own anger and feeds my deepest hunger. Don’t we often do as we’re cautioned not to? Now when I am angry I write these verses, and when I am hungry I change the laws.
