Select One Spiritual Nugget to Inspire Your Day
The ancient myth of the Furies offers us a mirror: when righteous anger consumes the heart, it twists into the very thing it opposes. Their pursuit of justice became a prison of their own making, and we are not so different. We keep doing something even when it is not working. This cycle, so familiar, shows itself whenever our fury blinds us to love, whenever our desire for retribution overshadows compassion. To watch anger, to sit with it like a guest who has come to reveal something hidden, is to refuse being possessed by its shadow. Sometimes it is God’s grief passing through us, and sometimes it is our ego disguising itself as holiness. Only a listening heart, surrendered to grace, can discern the difference and free us into true response.
May your anger be transfigured into wisdom that heals rather than wounds.
