Equanimity

Equanimity – mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation


Euphoric moments
Balanced by the darkest of nights
One without the other
Loses perspective – like a ship without a beacon of light

Our lives can flourish
When we acknowledge the pain
To fight the inevitable
Drives the strongest insane

So don’t fill up with pride
On the brightest of days
But don’t fall in a hole 
When things don’t go your way

Have patience
Live life to the fullest - passionately
Breathe deep
Equanimity
