Made it to the 38th day

Hi friends,
I indeed made it to this 38th day of the fast, in fairly good condition. I'm gladly looking forward to accomplishing the 40th day, as it's a spiritual milestone in fasting. But since it would not be safe to go on much longer, after the 40th day (this Wednesday), I hope to inform the medical personnel at the shelter. It's not clear whether I'd be immediately hospitalized or not, but either way I'll be prepared for the uncertain and painful next few weeks. Thanks again for all those who have held me in their thoughts and prayers.

Vijay,
I am glad to hear that you are making it thus far- you are in my thoughts & I wish the best for you!

I'm visiting Jagmeet in NC right now. We have been having a wonderful time- playing music with his friends, visiting the Appalachians, cooking FNB in Boone, making art, and walking around the woods. I've also been doing work while I'm here- the only way I could make the trip. My work is going very well- our watershed council has gotten a number of exciting grants for healing our river. I'm also teaching highschool students about river ecology.

I send you a gentle hug, warm thoughts for your health, and hope that you are surrounded by good people in NYC.
