As a poet my emotions are a major tool to inform my art. I mine them for the precious gems they can be when polished and effectively placed. I ride them into visonary adventure, follow the guideposts they leave in perfumed wisps. We are all able to be artists of our lives, enjoying and employing emotional content.

lol Anton! What a funny music video! I really like this verse:

“Do you know what it’s like to fall on the floor
And cry your guts out ’til you got no more
Hey man now you’re really living”

So true, so true that it makes the sun rise over the hill give one so much more of a thrill! Thanks for sharing.

Anton, thanks for sharing with us. I’m really glad it reinforced what you’ve been experiencing already. Keep on riding it through! Sometimes it gets easier, sometimes it gets harder. But when worked with, it always leads to greater peace and clarity, and ultimately, the longer-lasting calm.

Robin, it’s so great to hear your positive feedback. This article would not have been written if it weren’t for the wonderful Serenity Hacker community, as well as Miche’s graciousness and support!

It has been very inspiring for me to see readers really appreciate the gift that emotions have to offer, by as you say, keeping the soul intact and allowing for “humanity and deep exploration of who and what we are.” Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks for this article, it is one of the best ‘advice’ / ’self-help’ blog posts I have read, really struck a chord.

I came to the same conclusion myself recently, where I felt a lot of negative emotion, but decided I needed to let it run its course, and I felt so good when it had passed and discovered some really important realisations… as you say, the calm after the storm.

This is actually a new thing for me, a new way to try to handle the ‘negative’ emotions. You express it very well and I’m glad I read your post – it really re-inforces my own recent discovery of this and my motivation to keep riding it through, rather than to try to distract myself from the ‘undesirable’ emotions.

All we do when we do that, is maintain our levels of turmoil, rather than free ourselves to the calm that you describe.

Thanks for the post – it’s an eye-opener.
