Sometimes I find myself forgetting to eat or drink or sleep, so consumed am I with the need to set up the games, those life-changing tests that are now my work and my sole passion. Hunger has sometimes been ignored or forgotten, and my apprentices have had to remind me to eat or drink, or get some much-needed sleep.
I should not forget my basic needs, for these are vital life experiences to be appreciated. It is lack of appreciation of life from others that set me on my quest, after all, and I would be a hypocrite if I did not hold myself to the same high standards as others. But I do get distracted by the intensity of what I am doing.
Yet sometimes, satisfying something as basic as a hunger pang can relax me for a few minutes these days. Ir can provide a moment's peace, a necessary short distraction. Just to be warmed by something comforting from within can give a momentary space of calm now and then.
