The Well-Tempered Gallery

Will it be preferable to be "authentically angry" rather than a voice of moderation? In this fictional dialogue with an older relative, Matilda considers how to catch herself about to pounce. Through a year of sessions, Great Uncle Henry encourages her to imagine herself curating a gallery of pictures, words and literature; each one unlocks anohter insight, another opportunity to take time and think. Anger becomes a conscious choice instead of an instinct.
