And what a journey is was. It had its ups and downs, and to be honest the most difficult time has been since breaking the fast and refeeding. It has now been two weeks since we finished and we are nowhere near full strength, but slowly slowly we are building muscle and getting more energy.
I have been pretty weak.
It was tough at times I must say. And then at other times it was divine. Such an opportunity to stop all activity, all food, all internet, all idle chat, does not arrive very often, so I seized the moment and bathed in the absence of everything, and touched God a couple of times, touched some residual pain that quickly shifted, and experienced a small awareness of what it must be like to starve or be starved in a concentration camp. I just can't begin to say how much I feel for all those who suffer such a fate.
Anyway I want to invite you to read the article I have written for the 'Running Conscious' website. I am a regular contributor to this online mag run by a good friend Julia Chi Taylor and I think the article reads very well.
Here is the link, and if you like it, please share it!!
