20mins of silence
So I sat there for a while, for what seemed to me to be 20 minutes. Then I looked down at the clock and it it had only been four minutes. It's funny how fast time goes by when your mind is occupied, but when it "cant" be doing anything time just crawls by. Then I started thinking about not doing anything for another 16 minutes and reliezed that I was doing something while I waited. I was thinking. I was waiting. I was counting minutes. I was relaxing. Then it hit me, no matter what or where you are, you can never actually just sit there and do nothing. It's not possible. You are always doing something whether it's sleeping, thinking, meditating, sitting, staring or waiting. And while I was thinking about how to not do anything the time flew by me. The next thing I know I'm caught up in my thoughts and it's been 27 minutes of total silience. Let me tell you, it's a rare thing for me to get these days! It was a nice little time of well needed rest.
