Protect reignite soul log July 23. we saw you climbing the Hill, we read your signs, we know what you are trying to do. We are with you.

this from the young man speaking for he and his partner, as James arrived at his spot in the woods to rest for the night. And after young man help James push the vehicle over the crest
of the dirt road where traction was insufficient. For that narrow rear wheel. 

We spoke at some length. 24 he said he was. 

Have hope, he said  when he heard that I had none. He accepted my general schooling as I told him that more than almost anyone, I have been fighting for his future for 15 or more years now. Having learned a few things. No, it is hopeless. But there is the possibility of re igniting a few souls along the way. Now or in the future. 

among the things that James has learned and rarely forgets the say, I am not telling you what to think friend. I am telling you what I think. 

It was a good conversation. Earlier in the day, sitting outside vons supermarket consuming $10 worth of healthy food, most of it greens, Two affluent looking ladies my age , we had to come and ask about this vehicle. Very polite, very friendly. Where did you start? Where are you going? 

James replied, I started with the allusion that we knew how to care about our kids and grand kids and would be inspired to use renewable Energy in time. I am going to the one in a million soul that can still be reignited for its own joy and the light it might shine for others. 

O, I meant geography, not spiritual, she said politely. Put in a way that communicated, answer my question friend. 

James reply. I don't travel  graphically. 

Enjoy your potato salad sir, politely, not unkind. Knowingly communicating the message. You didn't answer a question, that was not good. 

 What wonderful opportunities to Let people have a chance to think and reflect, all of these provide an opportunity for their souls to reignite. What a privilege. 

Worth James leaving his beloved Lone Pine home? Without question. He did not know that this is what he was heading out for. His soul didn't tell, if it knew. Pitiful, meaningless. But slightly less so thn staying in his beloved home.
