Man Shall Not Live on Bread & Water Alone

After a 40-day water fast, I missed an old friend - fasting. It quiets my panic. Fear drove me here. There are issues I'm trying to overcome. I pray this ancient wisdom reclaims me.

I don't take food for granted. So many lack basic needs. But fasting brought mental clarity in dark times. It revealed the path forward. Removed distractions. Showed what truly matters. I welcome another journey.

In the subtle discomfort that creeps in, there is beauty. A gentle call to presence washing over me. This beginning holds promise. I now welcome my first dry fast.
