The choice is mine.
In my chest I carry a glowing ember called anger. It lies in wait for a breath of oxygen, which will bring me to the full flame of rage. But this morning I refuse to join in needless suffering. I rest at peace in the space between doing and all that is undone. I call this place Serenity, and would dare say I know it as the confounding space where even God lets go.
