Today was a mellow day. I woke up feeling tired and with a hot body (not hot as in attractive but hot as in temperature). It seemed like my body was still processing the gigantic raw vegan meal I had last night. I drank a couple of glasses of water I had brought over to my hut and did some gentle stretches to open up.
From there I walked directly to the kitchen where I searched for some papayas ripe to eat. Unfortunately I had run out of papayas myself, 75 is obviously not enough for a whole week.
Surviving a Massive Raw Vegan Meal
I took all the papayas I could find and then asked Jake for some more. They certainly helped me feel much better. I got to say, considering how much I had eaten the night before during the meal with our raw vegan community, I was feeling quite extraordinary. Last night we had a dozen course meal with plenty of salads, desserts and various raw vegan and fruitarian recipes.
During the meal I was feeling very full and, to be honest, I was forcing the bites down my throat, everything was so delicious! I thought I was going to get sick from it but an hour after the meal I was feeling fine. This morning, after the papayas, I was feeling great. I wonder if the papaya fast I did over the last two weeks had something to do with my ability to sustain so much food and the combination of 50+ ingredients.
My Future at the Kanekiki Farm
After having breakfast Barb asked to talk to me about my future at the Kanekiki Farm since I am at the end of my 6 week internship. She asked me if I wanted to stay and I said yes, however, she said she could only give me space with certainty for another month. I was quite surprised to hear this as I expected work-trade invitations to be 3 to 6 months, which is what is written on the website.
It was a bit hurtful to feel that I am not needed or desired enough to get a longer offer to stay. On the other hand, not too long ago I was the one contemplating on leaving the Kanekiki Farm and go somewhere else and as a matter of fact, I wanted to take this month to month anyways, so I truly got exactly what I wanted and what I needed.
I noticed that despite my sadness and the angry feelings of being expendable, I took the “partial rejection” pretty well. In my heart I trust that whatever happens is best for me and that I can handle with success whichever situation the universe brings me. After my talk with Barb I went online and began to look for other farms and living opportunities but I stopped the search after five minutes. I know, in my heart, that if I truly want to stay at the Kanekiki Farm, I will be able to do so.
Success with My Fruitarian Books
I spent the rest of the afternoon working on my fruitarian books. For food I had some leftovers from yesterday’s meal, salad and corn, all raw of course. I was hoping to return to my purely fruitarian diet but I was out of papaya reserves and there wasn’t much fruit on the community space. I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal to take one more day to return to my fruitarian path. Needless to say, I feel way better when I only eat papayas, or mono-meals of fruit.
I found it interesting to see that I can eat a purely fruitarian diet, take a day off to diverge into the world of gourmet raw foods, and come back, so quickly to the desire to eat only fruit. It seems that my body is starting to remember, or realize, what is best for it. I may have reached a breaking point where, now that I know what optimal digestion feels like, I can easily get back to that mode. Success!!!
Getting Ready to Publish my Fruitarian Books
There isn’t much more to share about today. My book fruitarian books are coming along great. I already have 6,000 words edited and a book with more than 30,000 words. I estimate that at this pace I should have the entire first book reviewed by the end of next week. I would like to have my first book ready to print within the next couple of months, it is a lofty goal, but so far those have worked out pretty well.
