I fasted today - it really feels great!

i've been only drinking black coffee, tea and water today 

and it really feels good. My body is saying 'thank you'-

the food here at the monastery is very good - but it is a lot

and it's offensive if I don't eat every last bit -

I am going to ask for smaller portions going forward

so that there won't be any food waste - which is the reason

why it's offensive to leave any behind.
