Ups and Downs
Equanimity.
I am on the way. In the distance, a mountain peak. The path from here to there looks direct, from a distance, yet in the walking contains turn after turn, ascent after descent after ascent.
There is no way to go as the crow flies, the path must be walked.
❖
Here, this darkened turning, let me welcome it as equally as I welcome the later, sun-filled walk above the tree line.
The peak awaits me.

Consider:
Can I equally accept the highs and the lows?
