Space

While I was doing yoga this morning I thought about the concept of getting space into your body as you stretch—between your vertebrae in a backbend, for example, or between your ribs in a side-bend or twist. As with many aspects of yoga, this goal is applicable to life in general. How can I have more of a sense of space in my life--in between my thoughts, in between my moments? Can I do a sort of mental and spiritual stretch during the day—can I live there? I think that’s what God must be like.

(You thought I was going to begin this post with "The final frontier," didn't you? I miss Jean-Luc.)
