Finished my longest water fast yet - due to bad math I thought it was going to be 36 hours, but turned out to be 40.

Vivid dreams returned last night and ketp flu hit bad this morning, so I ended the fast with gentle protein. Was spiritually rewarding, fruitful, and challenging.

Yesterday the month of Toxcatl ended, and the confessionary is closed again for another year, which was the occasion for the fast.

I teach book 8 of John Cassian's Institutes, "On The Spirit of Anger" in my Anger and Justice class. I've created a set of new core concept videos on that text. Here's the first one!

I read an encyclical by Pope Innocent IV, Quae Honorem Conditoris Omnium, Whatever is for the Honor of the Creator of All, written in 1243.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised about practices this extreme, but I still am. phys.org/news/2023-02-mysterio

Since I had no idea what an anchorite or anchoress was, I had to look it up: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorit

"This medieval woman was buried in a tightly crouched position within the apse of the church foundations, a small room located behind the altar."

A big part of my practice is in the constant, even daily, honoring of my limitations as a human being. "Honoring" is a deliberate word choice - it includes acceptance and observation, but also respect and deference. I defer to my limitations in a way that reaffirms my dependence on others, the Gods, and the whole of creation.

One cannot do anything alone.
