Coming out of the bike shop that is wonderfully rescuing my vehicle from disaster due to a broken rear wheel, and substantially strengthening it, and critically weakening my financial position which is already on life support, I came across a gaggle of beautiful....... women my age, women in black. Women in black they announce themselves as. They invited me to lunch and later I attended. Mary Beth was among them, 88 years old, a self-described peace pilgrim that has traveled the country promoting peace. Such a magnificent soul. All of them very nice Souls. It was a great joy. They seemed to want to know much about my story and journey. They seemed to receive some inspiration from it. When folks genuinely wants to know what I'm doing, it causes me to connect with depths of emotion that generally I don't connect with. Quite frequently I was choked up.

Las Vegas shooting. Victims of the United States have rarely known such peace, Yemen, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Puerto Rico and on and on and on and on and on and on. Our victims have rarely known such peace.

The heart is one hell of a pilot. About 15 years ago I got tired of my head and flesh being in charge and made the heart, soul, my pilot. It is one hell of a ride. Not for one breath..... have I regretted it. And early in my business career of running into failing situations to turn them around, I started to get pretty good at it. There was no way that my fairly sharp mind was going to figure things out in time. I had to turn to that much larger part of the nervous system, the heart, feed it like crazy with appropriate information, and hope it coughed up the Solutions in time. Pretty regularly it did. And that's the way miracles happen. Einstein said something like, I think 99 times and nothing. I go swim in a quiet pool and there's the answer.
Folks are so passionate about lip service, and so passionately averse to life service. So ready with suggestions of what others can do, so averse to doing. The rare exceptions prove the prevailing rule.

I think that making the truth easy is not possible, and attempting to do so makes it less likely to discover. This I have been guilty of. I think?....... the best that can be done is to make the truth discoverable, to point in the direction of its existence. Then the rest is somehow up to Creation. The man Jesus said, no one can come to me except that the father brings him. I am so impatient, I am so desperate for the world to be saved, can I learn to do this? I think maybe.

Financial and other contributions badly needed. Marooned in Grants Pass Oregon while parts arrive for repairs and strengthening of the vehicle. Departure now expected...... on Thursday, roughly 10 day Journey Down to the all-important Silicon Valley. Lodging desperately needed in the San Jose region. Laws and finances will put me in jail unless legal places to park this vehicle in someone's driveway or yard are uncovered. So far there has been lip service, a little bit, but nothing provided by those who said they might help. It is important to see how few people are really friends of this Mission, almost none.

No sir, just one, human rights, starting with those most violated. This in response to the man, wow, he said, you're involved with a lot of issues, obviously disturbed, who....... kept clutched in his hand the money he had thought to donate as he asked me to stop on the side of the road to talk with he and his friend. When he saw the free Palestine on the left front tire, he changed his mind. It was wonderfully awkward.

Unless you help, I'm likely to go to jail, stay in jail. Die in jail. And the vehicle possibly destroyed. The mission ended. This vehicle is going to be seen in Silicon Valley if it kills me. They already built f****** Trump's wall, but....... financially, invisible. And with immoral laws. These f****** Masters of the Universe have passed laws to make it illegal to sleep in vehicles in their Ivory Towers. F****** bastards. Many times now I have put the word out for people to find places where this vehicle can park for the night legally so that the driver can sleep. Nothing so far. Tap your networks, find someplace for this vehicle to park at night in San Jose, Milpitas, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara. Prepare to do jail support if safe lodging does not emerge. Or do nothing. Have a nice day.

Reminder to self. the one adult population among whom I have been substantially welcome throughout my adulthood is the population of people with an extreme, complex, problem. an emergency....... , if you will, where they thought I might be able to help. Beyond that, not so much, not very long. Initially they naturally project on me a type of person with which they are familiar, they fairly rapidly discover that I am not something that fits in a traditional mold, extremely intense, extremely devoted to a just world, and I become unwelcome pretty fast, although rarely are people rude.
Wow, Francis on politics. Wow.......

Oh, it is definitely a stress fracture in the right tibia, or something with exactly, exactly, exactly the same symptoms. If someone has access to a friendly doctor, it sure would...... be nice to know what happens if one does not rest, but moderately keeps using the leg. I am doing so and the pain seems to be moderating so far. Help needed.

Why is it that so often only after they die that we discover people and who they are and what they have to teach us?

Note to self. To be a better vehicle for the totally essential creative tension, I must do a better job of pointing two truths, but leaving room for others to they're by Discover it. Baby, if we give Cruise too clearly, too easily, we prevent it from being seen.

I have become a good vehicle for the essential of any hope, creative tension. I must learn to do better.

Threatening to kill me, pretty much every day, for fifteen years now, is telling the truth. But the moment I stop, I have killed myself, all joy. It is the way, the only way. Jesus, king, Gandhi.

We miss the essential truths unless something causes us to look really really really hard. Ever see the picture of the young woman and the old woman? This is why I will probably stop making the truths I am shown so easily available on Facebook. By making.......them so easily available I think I am making it impossible to see them. There was a really wonderful, tremendously awkward, scene in the Robin Williams movie, Patch Adams, where the old man said, look at my fingers, what do you see!?!? This is what Willy Wonka knew, isn't it? Can I love enough, to become this way?

I love the truth above everything because the truth is necessary to love everything, and anything. I do not know the group that loves truth more than it loves its own Darkness. The........ conservative town breathtakingly kind and supportive to this mission, but then they found out that I call out conservative to behavior that I find destructive. And then it went dead. And the same thing happened in a very liberal town. Breathtakingly supportive. And then things went dead. I am not conservative. I am not liberal. I stand with the truth that gives life as best I can, and I call out what I think leads to death. I do not know the group that loves truth more than its own Darkness.

Approximately 10 Days travel from time of departure until Silicon Valley. If all goes smoothly. The drought has returned to going over Siskiyou Pass. If that is survived, unless the maps are incorrect as far as elevation, the rest of the journey you should be difficult but achievable. Estimated departure Wednesday, depending upon the arrival of a rear wheel rim to replace the brake discovered today.

Switching to blogger, another reason. The Path, the revolution, what Jesus and Gandhi and I walk, is a profound paradigm shift. It is...... very hard to learn to see life this way because it is so Farhan and all are examples are in the opposite direction. But learning to see a new paradigm, look it up if you're not familiar, he is always hard. It takes work. And like the picture of the old woman and the young woman simultaneously that cannot be seen at the same time, the path can be looked at, but not seen, with the liquor not realizing they don't see. So by being so accessible on Facebook I may be feeding the notion that I'm seeing without being seen. Rare is it that someone does not experience me with great excitement until they get closer to knowing me. Then the reaction can be very negative. Hey realize I am not what they projected on me to be, but they don't realize they are not seeing me, and the path.

I don't feel foolish, but it's funny. What terrified me literally yesterday, is a challenge and feeling ready to face today. This is a repeated pattern. If it doesn't kill you grow. I'm........ thinking of the Terrible unknown crushing climbs down from Siskiyou pass for 100 miles. Back roads in the middle of nowhere. But it happens repeatedly. Like depression, or maybe a form of depression, fear, Terror, can be very adaptive. Shocking the nervous system into a brief Retreat, giving time to ponder, regroup, learn.
