.. .fasting gives me singularly happy afternoons.

About This Quote

When I fast, I have the time to think about my deepest dreams and aspirations. The first time I fasted, it was for two weeks. During that time, I had no idea what I would achieve. It was not something that I planned or thought about at all.

The results came as a surprise to me. The second time I fasted, it was for 10 days. During that time, I had no idea what kind of result it would bring about.

Again, the results came as a surprise to me. The third time I fasted, it was for three days. That is how long it took me to discover that fasting brings about unique and special results.
