Chopping a Hole
“I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
Where it will go
I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go ….”
~ The Beatles, 1967.
Equanimity, a Gift of the River
Equanimity, a gift of the river.
Indifference is the near enemy of equanimity. Both appear as cool, calm and collected. Two ways of being, actual opposites. Beneath indifference there is no feeling, a nothingness.
I am not indifferent to the cold. Cold river dipping involves things uncomfortable and aversive. Equanimity feels the pain, understands it, absorbs it, lets it go. In this, the pain loses its power. In equanimity there is hope.
~ Image and text inspired by fellow dipper, Bruce
