nd You, I, the body of each of us consists of about 100 trillion (TRILLION) cells. All it takes is one to become self-centered (cancer) for the body to die. And as members of the 7 billion cell Body of Humanity, how is it less consequential whether I am, or you are, other-centered, or self-centered, to the body of Humanity? (Hint, it isn't. It is more so.)

Cancer update: I may be forced one more day of Infirmary, or more. Despite 4x normal Imodium doses nothing will stay in me more than 45 min. That's tough on the street, in front of the embassy, where a restroom is at least 10-15 min, or 10 hours... away. :-( Chemo does this.

We're probably headed toward Fascism in full force globally, and surely in the US. It remains the only real hope to over throw this, to co-opt our natural allies, our men and women in Uniform - our only citizens that have found within themselves placing something at higher value than their own lives - courage - the ultimate value for Gandhi. Yes, they are not perfect. But co-opting them is probably the only hope of overthrowing the wave of Fascism coming. And the only thing that can do this is people of unviolence who's courage impresses even them. So far, this is what has given freedom in Egypt any chance at all. Yup, unlikely. But it is the only hope. MLK's Proudest moment is said to be when Bull Conner's officers defied orders to fire-house unarmed demonstrators, and fell back, when they defied the horrible personal risk, and marched on to the jail in protest.

Religion is fine. Probably is essential to a good life live properly. But it turns deadly insanity when we live as though it is reality rather than human created construct.

Cancer update: followed the same pattern as the first infusion. First 30 hours no symptoms. Next 40 hours completely knocked out. Zero appetite, slight nausea. Starting to feel human again. I expect to be back at the Embassy tomorrow or day after.

Cancer update: wiped out. 36 hours sleeping and counting. No pain except a back that wants no longer to be in bed. Slight nausea. Near zero appetite. This is pretty much how the first infusion went as well. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be up and about and back at the vigil. Third infusion August 15th. Return to the infirmary one day before.
