It is easy to focus on where things are missing.  Perhaps it is the inclination to view the glass as either half-full or half-empty.  Has anyone noticed the glass is both half full and half empty?  Focusing on the gaps in our lives is not so we can wallow in them or start a pity party.  To be able to see them we can recognize them and our perspective of them as part of ourselves.  The more we are willing to look at all areas of our life the more we can know what we are working with to construct a life.  In the same way, there are moments when it is best to let our hearts be the stronger impetus behind our decisions and moments when it is best to let our minds be the stronger impetus it is good to focus on our gaps.  When we know where the loopholes are we can see how they make up the tapestry of our experience. If we try and hide them by pulling the rug over them, we will fall through when we walk across the part of the floor with the gap underneath we cannot see.  If we are willing to look with the eyes of our heart upon the gaps in our lives we will grow in love for them, ourselves and all those around us who have their gaps too.  We can work together to fill in each other’s gaps and show each other how we learn to live with the ones that don’t seem to be fixable.
