Been meaning to document this for years, but Q spends time fasting for 3 days at the beginning of July. This year, he and I spent time building on it together and unpacking what it means to reconnect with self and to focus in on particular principles each day. Reconnecting with purpose. While I didn’t fast from food, I found other ways to practice mindfulness and build for me.

The Last Day of Fasting, Discipline – 2022, by Q

The result of dedication to a cause and determination to exact such cause is discipline. Discipline is NOT the natural state of mankind… it is the natural state of divinity. Everything in creation adheres to the natural law and there can be no law without the concept of discipline. When a person seeks to strengthen there discipline, they seek to become closer to their god-like selves… like every atom in existence, we are all, whether knowingly or unknowingly, apart of the structure of the natural ORDER.

Discipline – 2023, by S

Of the 3 Ds, discipline is the hardest of the concepts to grasp. There’s a realization that without a higher power a true belief in the divine, real disciple cannot exist. Meditation and prayer were an easy solution to feeling that closeness with the universe, and connection was made, there in the rain, reminding me what is. The insight – dedication is the why, determination is the goal, and discipline is the process. It’s time is forever and can only be guided by all three D’s existing at once. Finding the fire within myself to meditate while the rain falls — only to retain the deepest connections, and accessing peace when I choose it.
