Klara-

i'm starting a new job next week, actually. The big one. The one that i've been waiting for since i graduated college. A job that I could (if i wanted) make a career out of if I work hard enough. An intensive training program will begin next monday, and the training session lasts 10 days. I want to be at the top of my game...to have a heightened sensitivity to studying and receiving information...And so i recalled an article on fasting where the author claimed that the fathers of western thought (in ancient greece) required that their best students fast for forty days before receiving the highest teachings. This inspired me to do the grain fast. I think it would focus me from thinking about food (which i do a lot) to focusing on my training. I'm actually quite excited to try it! What do you think?
