Day 6 - Getting into the Flow

Trying not to let myself get too comfortable. That's when I start to have issues; If I feel I have done well and overcome an obstacle I immediately think it's time to be done with that job.
The Baha'i Fast goes for a period of nineteen days and having one good day does not mean the job is done. Today was all about maintaining that focus and reminding myself this is a specific time of year. 

I enjoy sharing this time with other Baha'is around the world, it's a solidarity thing. When people tell you how they are doing it helps me see there are others who share the same beliefs and are working on similar issues.
For the next day I am going to have to keep those thoughts in mind as I see myself looking at short cuts.
To help inspire me I look at this photo blog called Nineteen Days. Photographers around the world take two pictures by sharing an early morning and an early evening picture. I love it. Great stuff and kind of cool to share a brief moment of someone's life. 

"Fasting is the cause of awakening man. The heart becomes tender and the spirituality of man increases. This is produced by the fact that man's thoughts will be confined to the commemoration of God, and through this awakening and stimulation surely ideal advancements follow..."
Abdu'l-Baha

Looking around for a decent spot to take a picture was difficult but this edge of farmland had just the right amount of shadows and snow and air and other good stuff.
