Nothing

It's funny how much you do when you do nothing.  Last week in class we had an assignment that seemed a little odd: do nothing for 30 mins.  At first I was like, what? nothing for 30 mins? this makes no sense.  Then, as the explanation went on, I figured it might be worth it.  I went to Disneyland that week so I thought I could try it there.  So I stood.  Did nothing for a while.  At first it seemed dumb and people looked at me like I had some problems.  My eyes couldn't stop wondering and it wasn't working at all.  Then, I remembered to focus on my breath. It would be much easier that way.  When I focused, my eyes also did.  I stopped wondering around and started doing nothing.  Or should I say a lot?  Every detail was vivid.  Little things made sense and i could pay attention a bit more.  I had never tried it before.  Maybe now, I can think of doing this a bit more often.
