"Isn't that interesting!" Have you said this lately in response to something that in the past would have upset you? Well, then, you are finding peace. Where did you find the peace? In taking a neutral stance. In not giving meaning to an experience. In saying, "Isn't that interesting," the event was neither good nor bad. It simply happened, and now you can deal with it in a state of equanimity. Without the swinging emotions, life is not boring. There is more room for joy. Try it, and we dare say you will find the peace has always been right here right now. And isn't that interesting? You are so very loved.
