静里有愉快 Quiet with gladness inside it

漠虚静以恬愉兮,澹无为而自得。

Still and empty, calm and glad; unmoved, and finding sufficiency in that.

楚辞 · 远游 · our translation
恬 is paired here with 愉: not the numbness of stillness, but stillness with gladness still in it. 「恬」和「愉」连用:不是麻木的静,是静里面还有愉快——名字取的是这一层。

In a name

恬 in a name is not the absence of feeling; it is not being pushed around by it.

「恬」不是没情绪,是不被情绪推着走。
