Lately I think about how fortunate I am, and how many advantages I have been given. My favorite among my advantages? Equanimity. It's hard to ever feel oneself as having achieved very much, when one has been given so much with which to work. Perhaps if I had been given even more advantages, I would feel the pleasurable sting of being a genius misapplied, but as it happens, I am about what my limited skills permit me to be. But I'm not much more than that, and that's a caution and a comfort.
