The possibility I invent for myself as of this date, August 16, 2009 is the possibility of peaceableness.
I am wrathful, indeed, (but not vengeful).
Slow to Anger shall transform Quick to Anger.
I shall listen for the egotistical lady in red, just waiting in my head
Waiting her opportunity to egg me on, to tempt me and inevitably
snare me!
I shall be the bigger person.
Not the lady in red inside my head,
I shall follow something green and growing inside my heart,
instead.
