On friday i ended a 5 day fast. it was a new experience for me and very worthwhile. although i'm a bit sick of tea at the moment,) i quote from a letter i wrote to a friend:
"it's teaching me a lot about my body and mind. paradoxically i've realised that life is not about 'not doing' or doing things but about if you can stay aware of 'your' deeper Self through everything. food is a very wonderful thing(even a can of beans sounds mouthwatering at this moment:), as is not eating. i'm beginning to see what matters most is that you are present in every moment and that 'things' are not controlling you but you are living, playing them. to live pain, eating, abstinence, sex, anger, wonder, in love, ect. but through it all not too forget that we are not these things. they are an evolutionary play of the absolute spirit... who we
are. do i make sense?:) i really like this view of things. for it doesn't take away
paul or you or pain or happiness or the past or future but just places them in perspective."
