***** I always have  detested the notion of 'giving back' that is so often spoken of. What is that?  To me it conjures up the notions of guilt, drudgery, obligation... all negative emotions. But just moments ago a variation occurred to me that I find wonderful, and profoundly true to my life. For 40 years I unwittingly accepted millions of times more resources than I was entitled to. No credit to me, what I have been doing for the last 15 years or so is, as fast as I can, as a fully as I can, redistribute all of the excess of that I can to my neediest brothers and sisters. It is as though I had been filling a warehouse, not knowing why, only to recognize the famine around me, and to have the joy of trying to get that stored value out to my family in need. In that sense, not 'giving back,' but 'redistributing to' is immensely, supremely, joyful.

Year by slow year I think I am learning that I am NOT my pulse, I am NOT my breaths, I am NOT my body, I am all of Creation, I am The Creator.... A small cell in the body thereof. I am NOT here to waste time concerned with the existence of the tiny cell that I am, but rather with the whole. The only purpose of being concerned with the individual cell that I am is so that what good I can do as that cell is not a carelessly discarded. What horror, what waste, how sad, the massive amount of time that I forget, and confusedly, mistakenly, tragically... Deludedly think that I am this cell itself. -- Sent from Fast notepad

Each step I take toward living with profound lightness on, responsibility toward, Mother Creation, the more light, healthy, free, joyful... I feel, despite the fact that objectively it moves me in the direction of greater risk of physical death. I wish, I wish... I had gained the courage to walk this path when I was a child. So many wasted decades. So much I insanely stole from mother Creation, from my neediest sisters and brothers on earth; literally millions of times more than my share, millions of times more then I was due.

Supreme Court slap down regulations on coal mercury. Truly, this is excellent news. The sum total of environmental progress is not the tiniest fraction of what is required to save a livable future. This is one more undeserved wake call for the caatonic, over-privileged, liberals that so far refuse to break a sweat to give their children, nieces, nephews, themselves... a future worth living.

The Israeli Zionist hit me in the head in front of the White House just now. On my 18 block walk to the White House this morning I thought of something I had not thought of in a long time. It is well documented that among the most painful things for the human being is to be ignored. Eye contact is one of the greatest rewards that one can give another. This is measured, established, scientific fact. Depriving someone of eye contact, especially when they want it, or seek it, is among the most disturbing, painful, things that one can do. The group of Israeli Zionists encircled my signs for several minutes, taunting me, calling me liar, calling me Nazi..... I made no eye contact. I made no notice of them whatsoever as they spat their venom. As they got ready to leave one came over and squatted down inches from my face. I kept my attention in my work. He was taunting me. His hand shot out and he swatted my head. I immediately screamed for the officers. Officer! Officer! The young, handsome, African American Secret Service agent who greeted me with a warm smile and an enthusiastic hand shake when I arrived at 9 o'clock this morning is the one who first saw and came over. That man assaulted me, the one in the blue shorts and grey shirt, I said, pointing to the man in the group now 50 yards away and walking, slinking away as fast as they could. Do you want to press charges, the officer asked me? no, I said, I want him to understand that this is not Israel, there are laws here, there is civilization here, at least a little. In less than 30 seconds five officers were calmly but firmly involved. Immediately the man and his friends denied what they had done, lying, lying, lying, and lying. The officer who first got involved immediately said to them, of me, "I know this man. He would not lie." ( which is true. ) Several minutes later after the officers had spoken to the man, again, this time another officer, asked me if I wanted to press charges. No I said. As I returned to my station an officer said, I apologize for that happening. I said, "no apology needed whatsoever. Thank you for your help. I wanted them to understand that this is not Israel. There is some rule of law here." As I have often written, over many years now, my respect and admiration for the Secret Service is immense. If American liberals had half of the decency and courage of these folks the world would no longer have any problems.

To those who cripple themselves and their value to humanity, to Creation, by submitting to an inerrancy of their centuries old books:  Sorry, this is primitive, blind, irresponsible, cowardly, and a betrayal of Muhammad, Jesus, Abraham, and the rest of our Prophets.  As a child we may have training wheels (Allah's 'word,' the Bible, the Torah...) on our bicycicle but the loving parent helps us grow beyond that.  If instead, we make a religion, a fetish, crutch, constraint, limitation, excuse... out of those training wheels, refusing to grow beyond their limitations, what a dissapointment we become, what a failure to the potential our father, and mother, gave us.  How cowardly.  How very very cowardly.
