It seemed appropriate given the arrival of the spring equinox and the current state of the world to revisit the equanimity phrases that I use in my practice in hope it might be of benefit to some of you.
May I have peace in the midst of conflict
May I have wisdom in the midst of ignorance
May I have compassion in the midst of suffering
May I have tranquility in the midst of chaos
And may I have serenity in the midst of change
Breathe in loving awareness
Breathe out gratitude
(Repeat as needed)
(Spring Equinox: The Dragon Emerges)
First Day of Spring
It snowed today —sweet
fresh petals of white cherry
blossoms drifted
down like snowflakes—
lovely lilting blessings
softly settling gentle kisses
on the Earth’s waiting
softest lips
Happy Spring Everyone!
