Fast Day Three.

Today is Day Three of my fast, which none of you all even knew i was doing in the first place.

Fasting for me is spiritual as well as physical, a way to cleanse all layers of my self and take a look at the things i have, the things i need, and the things i think i need. It's deeply meditative and restorative, it helps me look at the things i do everyday and the way i get attached to them.

it's damn healthy.

i don't have a whole lot of energy to make a coherent and read-able blog post, so i'm going to sum this quick post up by giving you some fasting links in case you're curious. After today, when i'm finished with this fast and have more energy, a longer blog post about this topic will be in the works.

I want to quickly stress that the two above links are concerned with health, which is something that you can regain if you fast responsibly and fast for the right reasons. Fasting to slim your waist line is not a responsible reason, drinking enough water on your fast is not responsible, and attempting to work out on your fast is not responsible. If you want to do a fast, you need to do research about it and ideally consult someone you trust who has done a fast before. More on this later.
