Seeking Ataraxia 👊

Ataraxia (pronounced AT-uh-RAX-ee-yuh) is Greek for “undisturbed” or “untroubled.” It’s a kind of inner peace – the ability to remain calm despite fear, anger, sadness, or stress. A person who with strong ataraxia has mastered the emotions and can rise above the ordinary difficulties that we all encounter in life. Ataraxia is the ultimate form of “keeping an even keel.”

This too shall pass... a constant that has not changed throughout my life.  Regardless of the immediate stress that occurred in the past, they are all history and are all-but-forgotten now.

This is close to what I see when I attempt to meditate.

It might seem odd that my vision is dark and ominous... but... that's where my head goes.  Back to the mountains near Cooke City, MT... with a storm rolling in.
