EQUANIMITY

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." 
~ Lao Tzu ~

Enlightenment is experience and recognition. Emotions bubble up and are met with equanimity: "Ah- frustration... Ah- sadness... Ah- full belly." There is no judgment or attachment, only the pure raw living experience. Whatever arises is met, is felt, is processed, and departs, like clouds across the sky, or wind that rustles tree leaves and then is still.

I greet whatever arises, and let it be exactly what it is.
