Notes About The Poem

Equanimity

Attractions and aversions, stun and shun
Free will signals, an option resisted
But does earth feel bound, orbiting the sun
Equanimity shaken when tested

Dynamic stillness seems to hold the key
We remain calm, although attention sways
Embrace and release in serenity
In but not of the world, as we do play

Imbibing vibrations by resonance 
Mindful eye burrows deep into the void 
Until attaining natural balance 
Determined by soul presence, overjoyed 

Attain oh hermit, equilibrium 
Devoid of ego borne residuum

The laws of gravity must be obeyed until ....but let's not think on the future.
