Close in shot of a Giboshi. A traditional ornamental finial found on Japanese temples and bridges. This copper one with its green patina is from The Huntington library's Japanese Garden in San MArino California. "Anger and Patience" by Patti Masterman Any time I don't understand something Or feel unhappy with the way things are going, Anger steps up, 'use me; let me help' And I used to give Anger a lot of free rein, Till I noticed Anger wasn't all that useful And generally tended to only make things worse. Now I try to rely more on 'Patience' As Patience doesn't keep clicking that counter, Adding up every resentment of the hour. Besides, I can look straight into Patience's face And not have one clue what Patience is thinking of. You know, Anger could learn something from that.
"Any time I don't understand something
Or feel unhappy with the way things are going,
Anger steps up, 'use me; let me help'
And I used to give Anger a lot of free rein, "~Patti Masterman
