Twice in Three Days

I didn't meditate last night, but the two nights before that I did. Again, no stillness was acheived, but I was concentrating on mindfulness and presence. Dave wasn't there the first night, but I nonetheless managed to stay with the meditation for several minutes. The second time, Dave was there and meditating with me. Although that usually helps, I was having a really hard time slowing my brain down. I felt like my mind was the ball in a pinball machine, just bouncing unpredictably and uncontrollably from place to place.

Tonight I'll try again. Hopefully I can keep this up now, and in a few days or weeks I'll be acheiving moments of stillness.
