Your being is not the major thing in influencing people. It's the only thing. James

 Hat tip to Albert Schweitzer, thanks for enabling me see just a little bit further.

"we have an exaggerated idea of the importance of laws. Our legislative bodies are the greatest law factories the world has ever seen. Our zest for legislation blinds us to the subtle forces behind and beyond the law. Those influences which really make and mar human happiness and greatness are beyond the reach of the law. The law can compel a man to support his wife, but it cannot compel him to love her, and what are ten dollars a week to a woman whose love lies in broken shards at her feet ?

The after photos, category 7.5 Biohazard at the park.

The first thought that occurred to me was to leave it so that visitors would think about the cost of allowing that orange turd to destroy the country with the shut down. But winning out over that thought was the awareness of personal citizen responsibilities. Bill, my friend, brought up cleaning supplies at my request and after 15 minutes work it is no longer a Biohazard. Bill with 2 years experience as a campground host, gave me cleaning tips, and he assures me it was probably not intentional. I believe him but I don't understand the mechanics. Literally nothing went in the toilet. Back wall, sidewall, floor on the other side.

What we need, and all we need, are people that are extraordinary examples of unconditional love, every breath.

The most important quotation I know, example is not the major thing in influencing people, it is the only thing. Albert Schweitzer  Words, stories, religions, have their place, 5% or less of the solution. 95% is being living examples. Everyone wants the revolution, everyone wants to do the revolution, everyone wants to talk about Revolution, no one wants to be the revolution. I am not preaching at you. I'm sharing what my studies show me clearly are major reasons why prior well-intended efforts have failed.
By the way, no Tolstoy, no Gandhi. And yes it was tolstoy's book, the kingdom of God is within you, that turned the direction of Gandhi's life. But it is also true and I don't know how Central, that were as Gandhi said that the greatest example of a human being throughout history was the man Jesus, that the greatest living example in his age was Tolstoy who was walking his walk. Example. Example. We are dying we are starving for living examples.

Your life is your message. Gandhi.

EFLIUS ND: Leading Engineers are now donating their time to the mission. I think that the following is accurate, not too grandiose. The development of the Wright flyer, the original Wright Brothers plane was a major achievement. Also a major achievement was the early pioneers who used the technology. In this I am no expert but my sense is that early Flyers of the mail across the country were the epitome of such pioneers.

Relative to renewable energy travel on land this EFLIUS Voyage, first supported exclusively by me, everything I have,  including credit card line of credit, and now with material support from others, is very much that kind of pioneering.

In Washington DC a Bright Young retired dirt bike professional in a small bike chain took substantial political risk to convince his shop and Executives to invest themselves in enhancing this vehicle to my specifications beyond the standard content, making it much more versatile and robust for the unprecedented Journey for this vehicle.

2 days ago catastrophy struck, a critical part that enables the motor to move the vehicle went instantly and totally inoperable. Had it happened 20 miles earlier in the day it would have cost days and possibly many hundreds of dollars to rectify. It was a disaster, and a miracle. A miracle because it happened where it did, a very mountainous region, Wake Forest, with exactly the right Bike Shop in the country , expert in recumbent bikes, knowledgeable in electric bicycles, and with exactly the right owner with a terrific imagination, and heart, and passion for advancing the technology,  and mission. He and his staff member worked much of the afternoon at little to no charge to me looking at the vehicle from the perspective of the huge Journey it was about to undertake, with their extreme experience, and tweaking here and there to make the vehicle more ready,  and generously training me at the same time. I didn't ask, I didn't beg, I simply explained the mission and the need. And my commitment, and seriousness of purpose, and dignity of mission, are pretty self-evident. And their hearts took over from there. Same with the guy and his team in Washington DC.

As strong as the manufacturer of this vehicle is in terms of design that is how weak they are in terms of execution. It's just a sad fact and also often happens with engineering strong companies. Extremely competent and part of what is required, profoundly incompetent in other areas.

They are unable to hold onto good personnel and sadly that's been the case with this company year after year after year. In late spring their only senior support executive Departed the company. He is Far and Away deleting support engineer on this vehicle in the country and he has backed completely away from the business due to their management incompetence, so sad. The void is crushing. This morning he spent hours on the phone with me working through issues because I have become so expert and I'm pushing the technology so far into the future of where it belongs. And the commitment he sees in me inspires him to be substantially more committed than otherwise he would be. After the hours I asked for his address so I could send remuneration. He just laughed. Call me whenever you need help, he said.

The only Power, the only Power, the only Power... we have to make the world truly better is moral power, the power of our example, what Gandhi called Soul Force. Everything else is an illusion, and kills what little time we may have left. Hugs

''You make my world better, just knowing that you exist.'' Surely one of the nicest things that has ever been said to me.

***** I wish I could find hope in the approach of the Nile project, breaking down the barriers between people, learning the similarities, learning to like them. I wish I could find hope from this approach but I do not. It was the approach that my generation embraced and it has not slowed, it probably has lubricated, our race off the cliff to oblivion. I've spent the last several days studying who I now consider by far the most important prophet on Earth today, Christopher Hedges. For two decades, among other things, he was a war correspondent for The New York Times covering revolutions in Eastern Europe, South America, around the world. He has sacrificed all the trappings of that, leaving the New York Times, so that he could freely write, speak and live the truth. Three things in the many hours I've watched these last several days, come especially to mind regarding the Nile project. 1, to the Sunis and Shia in iraq it was inconceivable that they would never turned on one another. They were friends, they were intermarried. And now they are trying to slaughter 1 another. 2, he observe that the people he has seen lead profound positive change did it not because they thought they should, not because they thought it was a good idea, they did it because they could not do otherwise, by their very constitution, they could not sit by in the face of the evil, they could not fire on innocent people, etcetera. 3, he said you cannot teach morality, you can only live it, and I think, he meant, there by become something that can awake in the same in others, and thereby spread . Now, my point is not to denigrate the nile project. To the degree that people involved are taking extreme personal risk, risking everything, to bring peace through this project, because they find that personally they cannot do otherwise, then it is exactly what Hedges and I have come to understand is required.
