The Implosion and the Burn

Metaphorical Narrative

Picture a volcano. When sealed tight, the pressure builds until the mountain cracks from within—implosion. But when the fire finds a channel, the eruption clears the ground, reshaping the landscape—expression.

Fury works the same way.

Core Insight

Fury inward is implosion. It eats you alive, mutates into shame or exhaustion. Fury outward is expression. Not reckless destruction, but clean release. It says: “This is intrusion. This is mine to protect.”

The difference is channel. Implosion collapses. Expression resolves.

Saturday Experiment

1. When fury rises, ask: Is this going in or out?
2. If inward, give it an outlet—write, speak, move.
3. Express without apology. Resolution is in motion, not suppression.

Sunday Reflection

• When was the last time you imploded instead of expressed?
• How did your body carry the difference?
• What channel feels most natural for you to let fury move through?
