relax into being ourselves,
play with our inner child,

dig in the dirt,
grow something,
love somebody else,

hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.

Anger and Danger are intimately intertwined.
An angry person is a dangerous person,

We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,
and direct our anger toward them.
