"Fratello assino" is what St. Francis of Assisi called his body. It means my donkey brother! Like a mule, the body which is the carrier of the five passions (five senses) can only learn to allow room for the spirit to shine through by being beaten with the whip.

The Idea of fasting, refraning from persuing the pleasures of the flesh (especially as we do now) will equate to the beating of this donkey brother into allowing room for the spirit child within to grow. The American Indians called this process the fight of the two wolves within, the one we feed the most will win the battle. Feed the spirit or the flesh? I say beat the crap out of this donkey brother of mine so we both can be free of the yoke of life on Earth and be forever joined with the SPIRIT.

Know that the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open and our heads above the water. And I say, see who is there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to t...
