Seeking equanimity


This was the state of my dreams last night 
As my mind struggles to cope 
With the swirling surge of responses: 
The fury, the helplessness and frustration, 
The sadness, the grief, and the driving desire 
To help all those affected. 
I’m grateful to be living in a protected state, 
And appalled to discover the depths of my rage 
With all those who celebrate this victory. 
How, after such troubled dreams, 
Am I to find the trust and calm I seek; 
The equanimity, tolerance, and compassion I crave?
