Bamboo grows section by section,
one section at a time. . .

courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."

Anger makes you feel, and even seem strong.
That's why the weak so often resort to it.
It takes real courage to remain calm
in the face of provocation
especially when you have been disregarded and denied.
But anger (paradoxically) only maintains your powerless condition.
Calmly coming to understand your own strengths
and options
will take you much further in the end.
What you acquire in the wrong way
retains the scent of its acquisition.
Those who live by the sword
die by the sword,
unless they beat it
into useful implements
with which to build.
ALOHA, cloudia

Anger is certainly energizing. I used to enjoy it much more than I do these days.
I absolutely love this post!
beautiful posting, again!
Thank you!
wise words, as always.
glad to have you back, Cloudia! Aloha!
I really needed to read this today. Thanks, as always, for a thoughful post.
I had no idea bamboo grew that way. Interesting.
Ah, bamboo. I need to pay attention.
Twenty past two in the morning, and after discovering something which won't make me sleep for hours, this post of yours was of great help.
Maybe there's is a simple explanation, maybe it's just another 'section' of life I have to go through - just wonder why I can't stay inside the one I was.
A wonderful Sunday for you.
love how the bamboo grows
A smile from SJ =)

You must be an avid reader, Cloudia, to find all these great quotes.
Your photos are glorious, Cloudia. I like what you wrote about anger. I agree that it takes strength to stay calm to deal with a bad situation.
I always feel the warm sunshine when I visit your blog.
And yes, anger is so pointless.
"He who speaks first, loses."
We sure could use some of the sunshine around here. It wont stop raining!

Love that first photo! And I'm amazed by the bamboo that grows section by section!
