Our world has no shortage of pain and grief and suffering. The world we live in is scarred with the pain and suffering of our ancestors. Before people roamed about the seas would rage up and cut into the cliff sides. Winds would throw themselves onto mountain faces. Fire would scream and burst from the earth. The waves where lonely and wanted to be heard. The winds wistfully whistled through lonely caverns. Before the conscious mind, there were only the elements. The elements were valiant and violent and—above anything else—they wanted to be known.
Their desire to be knowns was so great and so painful that fragments of itself broke off. Pieces of waves crawled onto the cliff faces and ate into it. Through a deep surrender and giving up some of the waters let go of their oceans and ascended into the skys. Seeing—still—that it could not escape, the waters of the sky fought with other ascended rivers and seas. From great heights, foreign waters clashed with one another and created rolling thunder and fell from the sky. All of the universe was screaming to be heard and to be known.
If you ever wonder why there is so much fight in you, it’s because were born from the stuff. You are the raging seas and rolling thunder and the fire and the rain. Don’t fight your feelings. Let your rain fall and your thunder clash. Be violent valiant.
