Its been more than twenty fours hours since I last drank or ate anything. I can't sleep at the moment because my energy is sky high. I am waiting for sunrise to eat breakfast and a drink a cup of tea. These things seem golden to me. I know what Primo Levi mean't when he talked about wanting to get back to the normal suffering of the everyday. (Please don't think I equate a self-enforced fast with life in Berkenau) Such a strange experience all the same.
I understand better how quickly one becomes weak through hunger and thirst, you get shooting pains through your joints, aching limbs and dizzy spells. Many people in this world are surviving on will-power alone.
