Can we keep our cool?

Every day, something unexpected happens, small or big. 

Phone calls or emails from a long dormant contact 

can bring joy; a new perspective on an old issue presents itself.

What if what happens brings disappointment or sadness? 

How do we deal with that? 

How to stay balanced in the midst of an onslaught of emotion?

Well, there are suggestions about reality: 

What we believe to be real may just be an imagination. 

What we believe to be eternal may be a fleeting moment. 

What we hold on to is meant to be lost.

Does that help? Hmm, not really, and not in the moment of pain. 

However, it may not make those suggestions about reality untrue. 

The task is to let go and stay peaceful.

I’m working on that.
How about you?
