There are people who have a thirst they are trying to quench from wells that you and I can easily drink from every day, but a lack of mindfulness on our part keeps us from realizing what we actually have and no one ends us drinking anything at all... To me, fasting is about gaining a deeper awareness and mindfulness of ones self and, in turn, the world in which one is situated. From the outside it might seem like its about deprivation of food and drink. But by shifting my focus away from a simple satiation of my stomach and looking more towards the satisfaction of my soul, I realize that are many different ways that I can nourish myself and many different parts of me that need to be nourished that I often times neglect, my heart being a primary amongst those. My fast helps me to be more present and aware, to see my blessings and reflect upon my strengths and weaknesses. Excellent post!
