Stability is our commitment as monks. We bind ourselves entirely to the Community of Divine Love, offering our lives to God. In giving ourselves to stability we foster a deepening sense of equanimity. Just as “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God”, we commit to live as monastic brothers and sisters until death.

On the other hand, Equanimity is not always about planting seeds.  She also keeps her composure when looking back through the books to find out what sin is blocking fitness for the kingdom of God, since he who overcomes does not get hurt in the second death.  And we are approaching Purim.

Esther 6:1 That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him.
