Banana Peel

I always thought there was only one way to peel a banana. In fact I had never considered there might be a different way, perhaps even a better way, until my ten-year-old granddaughter taught me a method she learned at school. It seems that monkeys peel their bananas from the bottom. I tried it, and it works. I’m so used to doing it one way, and because that way works for me I probably won’t change. Why mess with something that works, right?

I went to the Internet and discovered an article that demonstrated eight different ways to peel a banana.[1] Is there a right way or a wrong way? I don’t think so. As long as you get to the fruit inside, are able to eat it, and the method doesn’t interfere with providing nourishment to your body — what difference does it make?

I used to think there was only one way to connect with The Divine. I was wrong about that, too. People might make a strong argument that their way is the best way, and who is to say if they are right or wrong. One thing I’m convinced of; however, is that their way is not the only way, and there is much we can learn from one another if we will only keep our minds and hearts open.
