Equanimity is one of my favorite words. It is also one of my favorite states. This state is situated right beside the peaceful state of mindfulness.
Equanimity is the capacity of the mind to hold a clear view of whatever is happening, both externally and internally, as well as the ability of the mind to accomodate passion without losing its balance. It’s the mind that sees clearly, that meets experience with coridal intent. Because it remains steady, and thus unconfused, it is able to correctly assess the situation it meets. ~ Sylvie Boorstein in Happiness Is an Inside Job
