My yoga teacher was reading us a proverb about why people can never see the peace in their lives. She said peace of mind is like your fingers. When we look at our hands we tend to just notice our fingers and not the spaces inbetween and this concept is similar to peace of mind. We focus so much on the moments when we are rushed. We only focus on the fingers in our lives, and we forget to look at the spaces of peace inbetween. I really liked that analagy…

But, I started thinking about it more and I realized that when I was praying the other day I was at peace. And that when I let God in my life the peace in my life is more like the palm of my hand. It continues from one side to the other without anything stopping it. Peace isnt just in the spaces its everywhere. There may be some wrinkles or cuts but that doesnt stop the palm of my hand. It continues through even the rough patches. I like that.
