BLOG OF JAKE3 Days, No Food, No Phone
It’s Wednesday, late afternoon. I haven’t consumed a calorie nor checked my mobile device since Sunday night. I am nearing the end of a 3 day fasting period. I’m doing two fasts at once – no food, and no phone. I’ve done these fasts separately before, but never at the same time. I’ve also never fasted from food for quite this long before. I had done a 60 hour fast before — that’s dinner to breakfast with 2 full days between. This time it will be 72 hours dinner to dinner. I’m about 70 hours i...

I was removing a bunch of old bookmarks from my internet browser yesterday when I stumbled upon an old video I must have saved several years ago. The video is of an incredible speech by the famous comic and silent actor, Charlie Chaplin. It must have been shocking for those who knew him at the time to hear such powerful words come out of his mouth after so many years spent mostly in silence.
As I listened to this hope-filled speech again, I found that it stands as true and timely as ever. That is especially impressive considering that the film from which this speech has been clipped was released 80 years ago in 1940.
If the speech was not already inspiring enough, its pairing with Hans Zimmer's epic score from the movie Inception takes it over the top.
My favorite line is near the beginning when he says, "In this world, there is room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful."
I encourage everyone to watch the 4 minute speech, and I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
