"on my balcony smelling the rain. I'm sure its not most people's idea of fun, but its very fun to me."
fun for me!!!1
I and my companion just came in from sitting out and doing just that--and commenting on how pleasant it was. He mentioned that the sound unblocked all the subtle channels in the ears--so gentle, after the typical city of the day.
Ah, yes--I remember the not sleeping very well. I would mostly lie awake and half-dream, or do prayers. It's fun also to smile to every part of your body, internally-- :-) and to bless everyone who comes to consciousness. A lot of memory unwinds from the very cells, (and there is a certain detathcment that is very useful), and this is a great opportunity to clear any emotional stuck states, or let go of old wounds.
at least half the Water Fast and its healing power is mental.
