as of yesterday around 10am. i was supposed to go all day yesterday, but i had enough.

thoughts:

the fast wasn't hard because i had plenty of rice milk and juice to drink whenever i started to feel hungry or weak. i don't know how people do this with just water, and i am not eager to find out. for me the hardest part was that at certain times of the day i knew i usually ate. i had to use some discipline to not do what i was used to doing at say, lunch.

i am now gonna be more aware of how much eat, and whether i am eating because i'm hungry or because i have conditioned my body to just eat at certain times

i want a juicer.

i think i will do this to usher in each season.

for anyone who plans to join this fast my suggestion is to not tell anyone you're fasting unless you know you are gonna have their suport and to pick up a book on fasting and the health benefits.

**********THE SIG**********

The point is for us to sit down and make some kind of agreement on some basic things and understand that what is going to be freedom to me, is not necessarily going to be freedom for you. Self-Determination must be a very important part of what We're talking about when We talk about political organization -- political activity -- that has to be underlined because everybody doesn't have the same dream. So, there has to be room for everybody to attempt to move toward that dream, as long as that dream does not include oppressing other people; exploiting other people.

I long for the day when I can go out, eat a raw food breakfast, snack on natural fruit and vegetables, read a book, study and practice a martial art, eat dinner, cultivate my garden, play with my seeds, and rest......
