And God Said: “Righteous Anger’s Projection of Shame"



Margaret wrote: how sad that Noah's last words should be a curse.

What I want to know, of course, is what Noah's wife thought about what he did. Did she run out after her son and try to make things better?

And God Said: “Righteous Anger’s Projection of Shame”

Maybe we can all be Noah's wife
who cares for her grandson Canaan
and all outcasts:
Noah's wife can make clear
as Genesis does

that righteous anger

against others

or against ourself


from our Lord Yahway

or from chosen ones like Noah

or from ourselves

is revealed in Genesis
to be projections
of our own envy or shame.
