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. For the next couple days, I’ll post the writing from Q the year prior, and what I wrote this year.

Dedication – 2022, by Q

Dedication is what keeps bringing me back to the starting point to what could led to a grand arrival…

Year after year, I show a desire to want to purge the more base aspects of myself in hopes to obtain a clearer, more whole light on what known as the Self. This desire is summed up into 3 days of fasting. The initial principle to begin this quest is dedication.

Dedication is a fruit of the human soul–activating the most supernormal power available to human beings–the intelligence to see and comprehend, and the will to adiust– to manifest the exact product of a self-determined fate and its potential perfection.

Dedication – 2023, by S

When the word dedication comes to mind, my first thought in and OUT of meditation was other people. Just names, titles, more names. Nothing else. What’s more, I realized that I wasn’t on that list. It’s a wake up call for sure because how can I show up and be dedicated if I’m not taking the time to dedicate myself? I want to spend time working on defining what it means to dedicate me, and prioritize the intentions that will fill me to my best self. Dedication to self: mind, body, and spirit.
