Ataraxia I

(50x40 cm acrylic on canvas)

Ataraxia can be loosely translated to equanimity: the psychological state of maintaining a stable composure despite whatever external circumstances might be raging around you. Achieving this mental state frees one from anxieties and worries. Be like a rock, undisturbed, unmoving and unyielding against the waves and storms crashing over it. Those individuals that have polished their characters by calmly enduring life's many storms shine like gold.
