Day Of Reflection (24 Hour Fast)
At the stroke of midnight that began the day of February 7, 2008 I began my Day Of Reflection. For those of you who do not know what that is, it is a day of my choosing once a month (usually the 7th) that I use to reflect on the month past and the month going forward. I came up with this idea when I was just a young boy. As a boy I always had a questioning inside of me when it comes to religion and spirituality. I was raised Baptist and did the whole Christian thing. I used to read the Bible religiously. But the more I learned about organized religion, the more I rejected it. But anyways, that is a story for a different time. I would like to consider myself as a very spiritual person and decided that I would choose one day a month where I would deprive myself of the pleasures of the world. So on this day I will not eat any food or drink anything other than water. This is also a good way to cleanse your body of and do sort of a detox. Fasting gives your digestion system much needed rest from all the shit that we consume on a daily basis. In researching the subject I also discovered that animals in nature fast all the time. I have 2 hours left until midnight and i’m starvingggggggggggggg.
