Equanimity

Oregon Coast, a picture of equanimity. August 2026.
Life hits lulls where everything seems
"Okay"—
Not "Good" not "Bad" just
beautiful balance, something which
seems more normal. Those highs
match lows for extreme stress on
emotions, on health, on mental
well-being. "Give me equanimity
or give me breath!" Thank you,
Patrick. Always thought you were
too wound up, but now I see you're
just like all of us: wanting to keep
our heads down for fear of getting
whacked in some cosmic Whack-a-Mole
game without rhyme, reason.
