I am much more satisfied w myself when I do this every day. Sometimes when my awareness has been compressed into a pop tart sized lcd screen, going outside and looking at the tree canopies can feel like an acid trip. When I'm not making a practice out of it I feel like I've lost the way. poem by Nanao Sakaki: If you have time to chat,
Read books.
If you have time to read books,
Walk into mountain, desert, and ocean.
If you have time to walk,
Sing a song and dance.
If you have time to dance,
Sit quietly, you lucky, happy idiot.
I always feel pressured to fill beautiful journals with beautiful thoughts, and sometimes my thoughts are all shitty So i go out and buy a cheap little shitbook. And i feel better
