Ataraxy, as I found out via email yesterday, means “a state of serene calmness.”
.
Attaining ataraxy is difficult in today’s world, but do you find ataraxy in any of my images for today?
.
I shall do my best attempting ataraxy on National Get Gnarly Day, because what else can I do?
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “ataraxy.”

Maybe they didn’t get the email.
I’m hoping for ataraxy for all, including YOU.
I don’t aspire to a state of extreme calmness but I enjoyed all your photos.
I enjoy all your comments, Maureen, no matter what state I’m in.
Does anyone actually attain ataraxy these days? I can’t imagine being in that state.
You’re not alone, my friend.
I see so much ataraxy in your pictures, and so much that induces calmness, but I couldn’t relax until I’d looked up the etymology of “ataraxy”. I guessed it was Greek and felt so relieved to be right.
I see so much ataraxy in you, Chris.
What a wonderful word. I hope you can maintain that state of calm all weekend. And I’m sure going to do my best to tap into it myself.:-)
We will both do our best, my wonderful friend.
the images of nature and animals put me in a state of ataraxy. thank you…
Thank you for creating ataraxy for so many, beth.
I think I would calm down some if I crossed paths with a dog wearing lovely shoes, Ann.
I did, Mark!
