Grace under fire

Well, I got as far as the title yesterday, which was a very looong and challenging day, not because of fasting, but Someone dear, Who has often been the inspiration to fast! Long day, and not much sleep the night before, or last night. Around mid-day yesterday -- despite the circumstance -- the fast suddenly kicked in. By that I mean that Peace and illumination and happiness -- again, despite what's going on -- this shining Peace was felt.
