“Anger and passion are different expressions of the same Masculine force. You cannot negate one without negating the other. If a man disowns his anger, then he also disowns his Masculine passion. If he is afraid to express his anger, then he is afraid to express his passion. If his woman attempts to squelch his anger, then his passion will be likewise squelched. A man without the ability to be freely angry is a man without the ability to be freely loving: uninhibitedly passionate and alive.” David Deida

Wow! I am a very feminine woman and I love the masculine. I love a powerful man, full of passion, brilliance and a confident presence. It is so sexy to me! And, I also haven’t liked anger. I don’t feel safe around anger and I most definitely do not want to feel the masculine intense emotion of anger directed towards me! I have thought it was wrong, bad and out of control for a man to be angry and express it.

After reading this quote, I find myself wondering, is this true!?! Does a man need to own his anger to be free to give his passion to me and the world!?!

It feels right!! They are both fire and full of energy. I want a strong passionate man to protect me. And, if needed, I want to know he has the potential for anger, even rage to keep me safe!!

I feel like I am a new woman with this distinction. I will never let an angry (within reason, not abusive) man scare me again! I will know that he has so much passion for what he is angry about! :) I can honor the passion rather than the rage!! And rather than closing down in the midst of a man’s anger I can stay open!

How exciting!! I am going to give it a try!

Oh yea and a tip for the Heroes out there… If you feel anger rising in conversation with your lover, please touch her and come from love. The anger is ok and something we are able to open up to if we are touched and honored as you are expressing anger! :) We, Goddesses really appreciate touch, it keeps us open and receptive! :)
