Well, my reads...my reads...

I suppose this is my last blog neccessary for English class... I would just like to say that I went to a really awesome store - Present Moment - and realized that they have all of the books I would ever want to read. For the most part... So, basically, I have been reading The Things They Carried for school, and was once again stuck in the cycle of reading what I have to and not prioritizing fun-reading. Needless to say, I haven't gotten very much farther in my fun-reading book. I will now relate my own life to the book In The Shadow of the Buddha. I've begun going to meditation every weekend at the Minnezota Zen Meditation Center. It's really only been a couple of times so far, but I don't plan on quitting! Although it has only been a couple of times, I can totally see the benefits I could receive from it if I continue for some time. Matteo Pistono, the author of my book, also meditated! Haha - I laugh because that's mostly what the book is about... But he really inspired me to actually get on it and go to a meditation center and just DO it! I tend to aspire to do things and then rarely get around to doing them on a regular basis. Such as yoga. Anyway, I am very glad that I read some of this book, and look forward to a time when I don't have play rehearsal until 6 and am not too exhausted to read. Back to the books at Present Moment - it seems that they have a lot of books similar to the one I read, and I just cannot wait to get my hands on some! Saying that sounds a bit silly to me, because I don't often priortize reading. But I would love to read more books similar to this one. There are books about Siddhartha - the human name for Buddha, and books about yoga and meditation and Buddhism and Taoism...Anyway, thank you for reading, maybe I will have some posts in the future!
