dong nothing is better than being busy doing nothing

Yesterday, me and Laina walked about five minutes into the desert, just far enough where it is completely silent and you cant hear the roads and we sat down and did art. We incorporated leaves, water, sand and coffee stains in our drawings and just sat and talked for a couple of hours. Then we walked far apart from each other and meditated. I'm trying to work on meditation and get to the point where I can actually clear my mind and push away all thoughts that come through and be completely open and connected to nature and what surrounds me. It's really hard  though because my mind is so busy and crowded but it's all about practice. Then I came home and my roommate Casey made an amazing dinner consisting of  a cous-cous dish with pumkin,potatoes, carrots,and garbanga beans, and a spinach and tomato dish. Then we made brownies and went to give it to our neighbors because they helped us in our fridge crisis. Today (finally) we get our bikes! I CANT WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO COME VISIT! You have no idea how excited I am. I miss and love you guys.
PS: Here's a beautiful poem I stumbled upon;
I don’t care about Time.
I want to curl inside
the arms of this Instant
and rest there.

Here opens this moment,
right beautifully now,
breathing itself new.
I don’t want to look through
yesterday’s thoughts.
Show me how to See.

Let me pay naked attention
To everything I see.
Divinity is all around,
under me, over me, beside me, within me.
Let me see That.
