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
