To take care of my anger,
I bring attention to my breathing
and look deeply inside myself.
Right away I notice an energy there called anger.
...
Then I recognize that
I need another kind of energy
to take care of this anger,
and I invite that energy
to come up to do that job.
This second energy is called mindfulness.
Every one of us has the seed of mindfulness within us.
If we know how to touch that seed,
we can begin to generate the energy of mindfulness,
and with that energy,
we can take good care of the energy of anger.
~~Thich Nhat Hanh
