a definition of fasting
not in the dictionary,
but in holy scripture
not about abstaining;
but about giving, sharing,
a fasting from our
selfishness
thinking about others
not just about ourselves.
a definition of fasting
through the eyes of the
Creator
the Father of us all
all of us Children of God;
a focusing on the needs
of all the others, our
neighbors,
not just caring about
ourselves
the bounty that we keep.
