Nothing Special

We start out thinking the peace that yoga has to offer is special and only found after years of arduous practice. It is and it isn’t. I have found far more peace than I thought was possible by applying the principles and practices of yoga consistently over the course of decades, but that peace was always there. It is there in the moments we take for granted, when the mind is still and the heart is open: cleaning our room, mowing the lawn, walking the dog, listening to a dear friend. Peace is most often found when we are doing nothing special. It’s just that we don’t recognize it for what it is and for what it demonstrates about the human condition. We think peace is found in the extraordinary—and it can be, only because it is already there in the ordinary. The extra-ordinary, the peak moments, just bring a sharpened focus to what was there when we were doing nothing special.
