How do we take our anger and transform it into sacred rage? How do we create a language that opens the heart instead of closing it? To bear witness is not a passive act.

And to me our greatest intelligence is following our instincts, trusting our intuition.

When you are angry or frustrated, what comes out? Whatever it is, it's a good indication of what you're made of.
I feel like when you have an unauthorized police badge and something that looks like it could be a concealed weapon in the small of your back that when you, someone crosses you, pisses you off, road rage, I think just the slight badge and the little moving away of the jacket and not losing eye contact does amazing things.
