Equanimity | Dissolution Version

[gentle instrumental intro] Tell me, what is equanimity? [verse] February nights, a picture: Amber lights and ice-slicked streets She walks alone, a woman With an ice cream cone Held between knit-red mitts Slow licks, slow licking--- The shadows are long, and Timelines? There are none. Her dessert will not melt Now she knows the sweetness Of cold within cold So she'll savor it, slow licks, just a whimsy on her commute home. [chorus] This is equanimity. There is nowhere else to be When I am here, at ease with me. Symmetry equals symmetry. This is equanimity. [verse] Six-thirty, Colorado --- Cupholder coffee, switchback roads, and mountains blushing, Peaks still loyal to the night despite sun's sweet kisses..... First car whining on steep ascent, See a woman, running-- Headlight glare meets headlamp glow The day not yet begun and already she’s nearly done, already she’s descending. her arms pumping, legs loose and head up, she's coasting, floating, flying-- A lady airborne. [chorus] This is equanimity. There is nowhere else to be When I am here, at ease with me. Symmetry equals symmetry. This is equanimity. [verse] Afternoon trail dust -- Tan lines and chapped lips, A woman lying by a rock pool, reads under leaf cathedral, Pack thrown down. Water ripples -- she glances. Water beckons -- she strips. Submerges, whooping-- Eyes clear, blood rushing, A siren cry for weary others, To pause downstream, Off the path, shedding too, She smiles, unbothered Hair tangled as the alder roots, No bridge was needed... The flow is true. [chorus] This is equanimity. There is nowhere else to be When I am here, at ease with me. Symmetry equals symmetry. This is equanimity. [outro] [fade]
