Just Breathe

Lately I have been working on meditating. This doesn't necessarily mean I have to sit and do nothing. I clear my mind, focus....focus on nothing...emptiness.....
It is so needed while living in a world that constantly barrages me with a force of "you should be this, doing that, looking this way, not that way." This little bamboo plant sits in an old jelly jar on my countertop. It seems content to just be....there. I want to be this, and instead of just proclaiming what I want I will make it so. I will transform my mind into what I feel it is made to be...just present, breath, smile, no past or present.
