Thirty years ago today
It was a Sunday and the second day of my
water fast. I got up at 8:45 and went to put my laundry in the dryer. On
leaving the laundry room I saw that Nancy’s door was ajar and I could see her
through the crack. I knocked and when she opened the door I saw that her mother
was there. I'd only seen her once in the fall of 1989 when Nancy wanted to spend
the night at my place but her mother said that if she went she may never see
her alive again. She recognized me.
As
they were leaving, after her mother had gone up the basement steps ahead of
her, Nancy turned to me and asked, “Why did you do that?"
I
responded, “Why not?”
I
had a pretty active day. I did all of my regular cleaning chores, except for
the floor. I didn’t think I had ever been so active on the second day of a
fast.
I
had no cravings at all this day.
After
Nancy came back she told me that her mother had asked her all kinds of indirect
questions.
