I am no longer counting the days that I fast. Since living more and more in the eternal present time has lost its distinction somewhat and I will refer to a calendar for the date and a clock for the time when necessary. It's a beautiful thing! This morning I watched my son zooming off ahead of me on his scooter under the naked tree branches and I felt a real sense of joy. Thought came to me 'I don't even care what day it is, or what time, I just love this moment!'
My fascination with food continues. I'm so pleased with the results of my endeavours that I have been taking pictures of all the meals I am cooking. They look so pretty after all. There is nothing like a regular fast to make you grateful for the food the Divine has provided. Tonight I am making bread. It is keeping me up far too late but it is also giving me no excuse not to do some chores that I want to keep up with around the flat. 'Well, since I'm waiting for the dough to rise anyway...' bread is precious, and homemade bread is just divine. This particular dough contains sesame and fennel seeds and a little sugar - YUM! I will of course oblige with pictures when they are done... as long as they look as appealing as they are meant to!! In any case the balanced diet that I am now eating is giving me the energy to achieve more. The fasting mentality is keeping me diligent about food preparation and the added nutrition is giving me energy to do more around the home. I still want more space and that will come.
I have aquired an unexpected ally in the form of Mountain Ginger, the company drafted Financial Advisor. He is full of ideas to ensure that I get the best out of life, albeit mainly from a financial/legal perspective. That is just the kind of support that I need! Alhamdulillah.
God is good.
