Whiteout

The holidays come,
a crossroads in the snow.

The falling white
blurs the place we meant to meet.

Blessed by the drift,
we turn away,
each into our own distance.

Storms can gather us.
Storms can let us go.

The moment you drop that belief #lettingo, that moment you are free and can have a blast: alone, lonely, or when feeling connected. It simply doesn't matter anymore as the schema you use to make sense of the world simply evaporated #sensemaking

These phrases reflect the equanimity aspect of the brahma viharas. We may overlook this part or put more emphasis on metta and compassion practices, but in this practice of letting go of expectations, equanimity grows. We can continue our path of care and generosity knowing we can't control the outcome. #equanimity #brahmavihara #thichnhathanhquotes #lettingo #compassionpractices
