I’ve been fasting since Tuesday night. I haven’t eaten at all….except that one grape I had yesterday when I was feeding Jakob. I just popped one in my mouth out of habit, but I don’t think it will kill me. I’ve also had a little grape juice now and then, but no food…except that tricky grape.

Anyway, I feel real good right now. Going on 40 hours. I’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time. Not having a job to go to helps in this matter. It’s hard to work when you’re not eating. The funny thing is that I feel really strong this time. I’ve done this before…I think the longest was two days..but it was always a struggle before. This time it feels natural and good. I feel very alive and alert. I slept great last night. I’ve managed to cut my caffeine way down in two days. I feel very connected. I know that this has a little to do with fasting and a lot to do with my spiritual practice. It’s amazing that when you take care of the spirit, the rest follows quite naturally. Even writing today is flowing much better than before.

It’s not like everything is just hunky dory right now. I’m still unemployed and am faced with going back into the industry (retail…grocery in particular) that I am hoping to leave. I have been very stressed about that, but I’ve been taking care of my spirit in the face of that stress, so it exists, but it’s not oppressive.

Well, that’s enough for now. I’m going to have me a big steak…..errr, glass of water for lunch today!
