mouse you're posts are so eloquent.

I once was asked to envision my anger. I never used to admit to being angry and this person was sure I was afraid of it when she noticed that I would talk a wide path around it. She was right and that was helpful to learn. I thought that feeling anger was wrong and not healthy too.

So I did a meditative kind of thing, where I just sat quietly for a while then welcomed thoughts about anger to see what popped up. What popped up were 2 visions. One was of the Incredible Hulk (TV show, which I never watched) where he is changing from a normal human into the Hulk, turning green, his chest expanding, buttons of his shirt popping and flying off. The other vision was of a horse. Again, I don't even care for horses. The horse was confined to a stall but aggitated, prancing about and rearing up a bit. The stall was not solid; the wall I could see was made of wide horizontal slats with wide spaces, like a fence. Both visions show I am afraid of my anger not being able to be contained, getting out of control. I used to rage and yes I am very afraid of feeling anger, acknowledging anger.. what will happen then is my fear.

I just recently was able to tell T I was angry about something I felt she did. I couldn't come right out and say it, but I said I was angry at "all involved" and she didn't let that slip by her. lol. In the next breath she repeated it back to me and I had to tell her what she already knew, that "all involved" included her. That was so hard.

I like your idea of looking at anger with cuiriosity and interest, something that just.. is.. and that we can use to learn more about ourselves.
