aloha john!
	   "fasting" for five days on alpha sun super blue green algae &
water.  mountaineering above 11,000 feet, everyone else cookin' &
munchin' & celebratin' the summit with snickers & me with my water bottle
& funny powder & energy & running ahead with my 50lb+ backpack on &
sleepin' under the clear starry sky of the high sierra.  late september
of '95, on a program called wilderness orientation (wo!).  great thing to
do for entering freshpeople of ucsc.  12 students, 3 leaders... anyways,
i felt great from the diet, but i can't rule out the sharp increase in
exercise, removal from civilization's stress & toxins, & great community
building.  rock climbing!  cold-water lakes!  makeshift lukewarm sauna!
(well, the last one could have worked out better)
	i blew more than a few minds on that trip with my raw energy &
good spirits.  many fasted for their firt time, during a "solo" (all
alone with no food for 24 hours).  powerful medicine wheel ceremonies
before & after this introspective journey.  wo!
