As I explore the times I have felt the most intense anger in my life- I have found it to be at points of persecution, injustice and condemnation from others who throw stones from glass houses.

I feel a funnel of fire when I experience being held down, pushed back and silenced.  Is the message of love, peace and understanding that I have to offer so unacceptable to society.  Yet I hear the longing for it all around!

I shall not be silenced, this I can assure you.
