There
is a mean hateful officer running the rotunda where I and my
co-worker run the weekend guitar check out program. He hates that
prisoners have any programs and make things as hard as he can to
disrupt the programs. I remember what my long time friend Karin from
Sweden tells me, be nice and stay real and not curse anyone out. She
is correct, because I give away my peace, realness or power over my
realness and love when I get angry and express that anger through
verbal insults. So I stayed cool and thankful. Instead of
participating in the negative game, that could get me locked up in
the hole, I took my flute, some bread, cookies and prison silence and
sat down up against the small wall and fed my blackbird and cowbird
friends and communed with Earth Mother. The sky was sweet and cool,
but my heart, soul and spirit warm and cosy with realness. There are
always peaceful, growthful healing ways to express or sublimate
anger.
Amen! I need to work on that! Thank you for inspiring me. xo
ReplyDeleteSpoon, I totally agree with you, my buddy. I was there when it happened. But today (12/17/12) you set me up. You didn't tell me I had to write poems before I came to your class. So this is what I wrote :
ReplyDeleteI am not in the mood
of writing poems
and if you make me do it
I 'll be heading home.
(for Spoon Jackson)
you owe me one, buddy!
