So much wisdom in what you wrote, Glenn. I used to be quick to anger. That along with being too serious, impatient and intense. Those qualities were my armor against getting hurt.
Sometimes it felt like I was just born that way. The most unfortunate part was that I hurt people close to me. I would have to work hard to repair the damage. Now, when I get a little down for whatever reason, there are still regrets I have to process. But I too have learned to transmute the anger into a more compassionate form of energy.
Like you, Glenn, I used to get terribly frustrated when someone would swerve into a lane right in front of me. Then something my daughter said made me realize that I have no idea who that person is or what would compel him or her to do that. Her words were, "Mom, what if that is a man trying to rush his wife to the hospital to have a baby?"
This is a great achievement, but plowing up the earth to plant is wrong because it tears up the micro biome in the soil and, in an extended drought, the topsoil blows away. Please check out the regenerative method where the soil is covered with vegetation year around and they use cattle in mob grazing. Also, they stop using most fertilizer and pesticides and end getting more for their produce. Check out Joe Salatin on youtube for some ideas.

Thank you for point #5. It was a good reminder that we all need to have more patience and understanding. Very wise insight!

SOOO True, Glenn. I resounded deeply with the analogy of the driver and your father. Well said!
