Making
sense of trials often takes time. Why do
we feel the way we feel? Is a question we can often only partly answer in
the middle of feeling it. And Why can’t
we fix what’s wrong with us? Can be even harder to answer. Hindsight is
clearer most of the time, if not all of the time.
Not
long ago, I basically stopped eating. Each day my caloric intake decreased. My
typical daily allowance was somewhere around 1500 prior to this decline, but by
the end of the third week I was down to about 300 calories a day. If a banana
has 65 calories then that’s where I was at the end of 4 weeks.
A
dangerous trend.
