While I like the idea of getting curious when furious, I’m not a fan of using a saying to smother a person’s feelings and telling someone else how to be. “Don’t be furious, be curious” rankles all my feathers in a way that “Get curious when furious” doesn’t. One tells you not to have an emotion, the other give guidance about how to travel through an emotion.

Thanks to all my patrons and a special big extra thanks to Kate Webb, Erik Owomoyela, Stuart Barrow, Jesse the K, Brian Fies, Tracey Radford, and Jay Hedtke.
