After this week's attack in Toronto, we are all struggling with the feelings of anger, grief, frustration, a bit of hopelessness, maybe even despair. It's terrifying that we can't always 'stay safe' and there are no guarantees that something drastic, tragic and unexpected won't affect our lives. But what if control and certainty were not the things we focused on? What if we concentrated on being fully alive and aware and awake right now - with appreciation and gratitude for each moment - instead of worrying about what will happen next or replaying what was? If you can live and love with a full heart, and if you can't, if you are brave enough to make a change right now, then fear and sadness won't have such a hold over you anymore. This is true freedom and peace of mind. This world is not ours to rule. But this moment is.
I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid. My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie.
