Thank you for this incredible answer Cyndi! I’ve read it so many times already and I’m sure I’ll continue to do so throughout my life. I feel so so lucky to have been able to ask you this and to benefit from your years of study and practice and your warm, clear, rigorous method of communicating. Thank you!
“Strength of mind and the power of commitment,” these are the tools that move us to continue beyond the flash of anger and into the work that must be done for all beings. Your answer is one of the most clearly articulated summations of the Middle Way as the path forward in understanding our connections to others and seeing the basic goodness of all beings. There is always so much to be angry about, but channeling the energy of anger into action in positive ways is a key to better changes that benefit all in becoming whole. Thank you!

Sarah, Thank you for providing the grist for the mill. One person told ne this question is THE question. So much more to say and explore….
Wow, great substack Cyndi!
What a fresh way to think about anger, i.e. don't fight it, but rather "meet the emotion", what a wonderful concept.
Also loved the Great Vow for Mindful Activists, which is relevant for oh so many of us.
Thank you again for sharing, ALWAYS appreciated!

Thank you!
I too intend to 'meet the fire' instead of fighting it...what beautiful, clear-headed wisdom!
Thank you!
