My little dog, Snowball, is typically an obedient little girl, ready to obey and please. Her problem? Impulse control. She has difficulty reining herself in when she sees other dogs and releases sonorous barks. This makes taking her to dog runs difficult.

Our anger has similar consequences. It's not easy to control, but releasing it positions one untowardly in many conflicts, for many reasons.

So reining oneself in and giving things some thought may be more beneficial than imagined. Just breathe, and enjoy this Skyku!

The red moon observes,

Tempest surges, but it waitsβ€”

Patience calms rough storm.
