we may ask

View fullsize

living can be
a restless affair

bouncing
between pleasure
and pain

weary of the unrest
we may ask:

where is equanimity?
where is lasting peace?

attitude seems
to determine
our perspective

is this
self-evident?

then we may ask:
what decides on the attitude
at play in us?

is it random,
is it choice,
is it fate?
