Inhabiting Our Emotions

Equanimity has a special place in this rainbow of emotion, because it paves the way for the rest. Our self-centeredness has no claim on or place in equanimity. When we are here, inhabiting our emotional heart, we connect with the ocean of peace that manifests to us as equanimity. We see and accept things as they are, without falling into indifference or passivity. We act, with vigor, to change things as necessary. Yet we do so from equanimity and conscience, not from a need to score ego points or to be in control.
