It has been blistering for the last two weeks and is supposed to be the same throughout this week. It saps your energy at almost every level. Severe circumstances test your metal. What holds me together when I am hot, thirsty, sweaty and generally miserable?
It is much like the testing we endure when fasting from something. When comfort is stripped away, you discover your true self. And yet, I am not overly willing to truly endure the testing, for I have clung desperately to my air-conditioned refuge.
Summer heat is my nemesis. Every since I was little I have detested hot weather and loved the cool and cold. I shall choose other "wildernesses" for times of testing and growth.
