Fasting: In the World but Not of the World
I recently completed another seven-day fast, which consisted of water, black tea with fat-free powdered milk, and gummy multivitamins. One morning, while dashing to the subway, I came to the realization that as a result of the fasting I was more in the world and less of the world, which I found to be exhilarating and preferable to my normal, everyday reality. It was an easier and far more enjoyable fast than the previous, which brought an unexpected gift. I noticed that I could express myself confidently and succinctly without effort, which, sadly, dissipated after I broke the fast. To be repeated.
