The Vikid Fast - Day 2 of 20
Guacamole, Coconuts & Sufi Dreams
So last night I went out to a really cute Mexican restaurant with the hosts, a couple with two kids the same age as ours. They have had a rotten time with the lockdown. It’s hard to fathom how bad the lockdowns have destroyed people’s lives. It does really make me question what we are doing as a society and what we can do better.
They were kind enough to offer not eating but the restaurant wouldn’t have it. New Covid rules, got to order food if you want a drink, makes sense right? So we got a bowl of Guacamole that smelt insanely fresh and I watched them nibble at it while sipping cocktails all night long. No issues, I felt rock solid and it was great to be out with friends. So, its only been two days but you don’t need to lose your social life while fasting. This may change 😂.
I got back home reasonably early having drunk over 2 liters of water during the conversation and nothing else. Surprisingly, hunger hasn’t struck me yet. I don’t even think of food and the aromas in the restaurant didn’t affect me.
In the interest of honesty I did have 500ml of raw coconut water but by now you know that I am a coconut. So it’s not really cheating now is it? 😉
I had a couple of bottles that were due for expiry and this stuff is the best in the world. It costs a bomb and if you ever see a bottle, seize it.

The real surprise came to me in the evening. To go to bed I put on a Sufi Meditation called Kabir’s Song, it was something that took over my whole soul and drenched me in deep love.

It might change your life. Listen to it in total darkness, make yourself comfortable and just drift away. I have heard that fasting is a spiritual journey and that is my principle purpose, so if you don’t mind I will tell you about it. Please explore with me!
I am expecting that tonight and tomorrow the real work will begin. I will have to face some inner demons and really come to terms with my addiction to food. I just hope that I am up to the task.
Lot’s of Love,
The Vikid Truth
