Fasting - Still Valid
made it a point to explore as an option a fast for a day, like Gandhi and his journey. As I understood it, it helps cleanse the body, improve who I am and expand the mind. So just the other day I gave it a try, and I kept to it from the morning until the evening. That night I finally ate something and I wonder in doing that was the objective defeated? Or was it simply valid, because from the morning to that night all I drank was water and coffee.
Surprisingly I even took about an hour bike ride with only water in my system. In that I realized that I felt lighter and as a result seemed to ride quite quickly. Although my speed was nothing to exciting, I made the mileage, the time of course is dependent on my pace, and natures variables. Considering that head wind or tail wind can dramatically improve cycling time as well as speed. So though the time is not really a good indicator, it offers an example of a ride with nothing in the system besides water.
In a sense it was also an exploration of the Shamans and spiritual quests of old, though when I look back on it, as hindsight is 20/20, and I think back on some of the books I have read about the Spirit Quest, the journey of a medicine man into the wilderness to find guidance usually within a matter of days with only water to sustain himself. That has been something I have wanted to do for so long, to truly experience that. As a city slicker though, a person who has remained in the city for so long I wonder sometimes if I have forgotten the skills so constant many generations back. To get away from technology, to get away from the hubbub that is city life. Still it is an objective, something I will do in the coming days. Though for me it would be by bike in it's journey a true immersion into days past. To step up and step out and seek that deep guidance otherwise lost with life in the city.
