Objectivity

Equanimity?
What a wonderful idea!
If only I could.
After all these years I find
Small things still disturb my mind.

Interesting sequence, yesterday's Tanka and this one almost talk to each other.

This poem was a seed planted in my mind this morning and, I think, came to flower in my post today on Mindful Heart.

This is me in a certain mood. What I've discovered over time is that cyclical nature of contemplative practice. That I'm always revisiting old habits and that sometimes this can be discouraging. That feeling of discouragement, though, is something that passes.
