I'll admit it. With so many children, with so many people, in desperate need, I find our focus on non-human creatures like cats and dogs obscene. This is not easy for me to say. It is not easy for me to feel. But it is the truth.

***** Day 30. Ride for creation resumes. 5 days to Washington DC for medical tests.....

***** Day 30. Ride for creation resumes. 5 days to Washington DC for medical tests.....

The vehicle is as ready as it will ever be and it seems to be very ready.

As a driver I am as ready as I need to be, quite ready.

I have much to learn but I have learned an enormous amount in the last 29 days. Most importantly that this is a campaign to light a fire. It is the same campaign that Jesus began 2000 years ago. I may be doing it well. I may be doing it poorly. But I see that it is exactly what I'm called to do.

I've learned a tremendous amount as to how to do this journey, from the limits of the vehicle, to how to go beyond the limits of the vehicle, how to fully harness the Sun, I have optimized the vehicle, the manufacturer has optimize the vehicle, I am learning to be much more independent in problem solving and maintenance, my skills for route planning and route optimization continue to grow.

My sense of where to find living souls, those one in a million, is growing.

Today was really the culmination of the manufacturers efforts and mine to complete the foundation for the expansion of this campaign. I've spent several days, the last several days in Home Depot parking lots finalizing the solar trailer design and implementation, weatherproofing and wind proofing the vehicle and its contents. It seems to be very ship shape. Yes, many problems will arise in the future but the strong foundation is laid.

Hours were spent today by me contemplating where next. My first thoughts were the holiday crowds at Virginia Beach or Myrtle Beach. Both are about 2 days too far to make sense at this point in time. Meandering through the small and large towns between Durham and Washington DC over the next four or 7 days it seems to me the most productive next step. Doing so will lend me back in DC in time for medical appointments and the resumption by the Congress criminals. I envision having el fusion on Capitol Hill for one or two days maybe 3. They are not worth more than that.

My major cancer scan and consult with my oncologist is about 3 weeks out. I may be allowed to sleep in the shelter that I was in before I left Washington. That will be helpful but if I need to sleep in parks or surrounding towns that would be okay too. I envision while waiting the several weeks for my final cancer evaluation to travel maybe up into Amish country.

I expect I will learn a lot in coming weeks and months about where to find the few souls that have the potential to ignite. I suspect that each day will be my best attempt to physically place myself on those routes and in those towns or areas where those souls are most likely to be. My sense of the hallmark of the souls is profound humility, a sense of awe and wonder at creation that is very deep not shallow and self-serving. A deep and healthy sense of troubling at the precipice that humanity has brought everything to.

Alice Walker disinvited from University of Michigan over ‘Israel comments’

***** Day 26? Very important. 'You don't have to do that ma'am,' I said. 'I have to support a Godloving man doing Godly work,' said the middleclass white lady.......

***** Very important. 'You don't have to do that ma'am,' I said. 'I have to support a Godloving man doing Godly work,' said the middleclass white lady my age standing with her daughter in the IHop parking lot as she handed me a donation after reading my tattoos and hearing about the mission. Strange and wonderful for me to finally realize: I am hunting for people of the Godly spirit, of Creator's spirit. This is so unexpected. This is so absolutely correct. I was blind before. Now I see. It is all about the Spirit. Everything depends upon the Spirit. It will make little difference. Sodom was destroyed because there were not five people of Creator's Spirit. Now it is repeating itself on a planetary scale. But at least I know what I am looking for now. -- Sent from Fast notepad

***** Help us those of Profoundest  Solidarity, you are our only hope........

This is a gigantic breakthrough for me. This is a gigantic breakthrough for me.

I've been blind as to who can help us, and now I begin to see.

It is not the Liberals. It is not the activists. It is not the economic elite. It is not be materially powerful. It is not be academically elite. It is not be socially established. It is not the over privileged. It is not the privileged. It is not those who are certain. It is not those who are sure. It is not those you are busy acquiring and enjoying stuff.

For the future of creation only blessed are the meek, the hungry, the peacemakers, the merciful, the hungry ... those of Profoundest Solidarity, Profoundest Empathy, Living Spirit, Living Soul... Who feel the deep disturbance, the tremor in the force, are profoundly disturbed... And therefore can be ignited.

Day 22. To many I am making Creator, Loving, manifest at more than one or two people per day. Well, actually........

To many I am making Creator, Loving, manifest at more than one or two people per day.  for each of these it seems clear to me that it is their first such encounter with actual manifestation  in a long long long time, if ever before. Well, actually, to tens, dozens, hundreds per day I am making creator, loving, paying the price... manifest. To one or more per day they are experiencing that significantly at some level. For some it is powerfully rekindling what is inside them. For the others who are among the significantly touch it attracts them and upsets them as it causes them to experience that what is latent in them, that they see in my behavior and being, they have allowed to be dormant or forced to be dormant and that makes them uncomfortable. Creator only knows what the consequence of the encounter of these people will be with me.

The very religion, the true and absolute religion of the over-privileged, of the non poor, is over privilege. Being, remaining, achieving over-privilege is the religion. Occasional hobbies among the many hobbies is being kind and good.

In most Americans I find nothing, zero, zilch, nada... where the Spirit used to be. Absolutely this is the case with the over privileged intellectually, socially, materially among whom I was born and raised, with whom I have almost always lived among and worked among.. It continues to seem to me that it is less so among the non over-privileged. The exception proves the rule. If the shoe does not fit, do not wear it.

I am much more afraid of the soullessness of the Liberals than the ignorance of the uneducated masses. At the deep level of the Spirit........

I am much more afraid of the soullessness of the Liberals than the ignorance of the uneducated masses. At the deep level of the Spirit the uneducated masses know there is something terribly wrong. The educated, therefore of the elite, I truly and honestly find little by way of soul in them to be deeply disturbed. In their heads they understand there is a problem. But it is only in the soul that they could become motivated to be agents of change and I see no soul within them. The exception proves the rule. If the shoe does not fit, do not wear it.

When the love of loving overtakes the love of everything else the world will know peace. Not one second before.

I trust in Creator only in this way. I trust not that, never that, Creator will.......

I trust in Creator only in this way. I trust not that, never that, Creator will take some action for or against me or anyone. I trust Creator the way I trust a compass. Creator is the  force of creation. The compassion, empathy, sense of goodness, sense of decency, sense of conscience, sense of humanity... born within us all is what I experience as the part of Creator within me, the part of me that is able to sense Creator, sense the direction of Creator, and in that sense, to sense Creator's Will for me, role for me. Just as I try and align myself with the road I am riding on, just as I try and align myself with the rules of gravity as I am riding on my tricycle, just in that way I find that joy is in the direction, and only in the direction, of living creators will for me. In that sense  I profoundly, totally, ultimately, happily  paying any price to do so... trust the creator.

Day 16: When turned my back the biker gang... I'm tired. 7.5-8 hours peddling

Day 16:  When turned my back the biker gang...

I'm tired.  7.5-8 hours peddling, with brief stops.  80 miles from Ocean City to within 30 miles of the Chesapeake Tunnel Bridge to Virginia Beach.  Didn't leave till 11am, so I could parade ELFusion before the new oC crowd.  Could have done all 110 miles today, had I left at 7am, but what's the point?  I don't know how much of tomorrow will be spent aranging logistics to get over the bridge tunnel... if that is even possible. 

very good sun today.  Often a tail wind, and drag from the vehicles wizzing do insanely close.

The entire ride is pretty sparsely populated.  Technically not a highway, the rout I am on is highway speed.  Some of the time there is an adequate shoulder for me to ride on.  Some of the time there is none.  Dicy! It seems that the bright turn signals on ELFusion are working to alert traffic racing up behind me... well, at least something has me alive so far... and I think that is it... I blink them in rapid succession l r l r l r... and I think it warns folks to get in the left lane. So far.....

Until about 4pm I averaged 13 mph or so, when the sun was strong, and dropped to about 10.5 from then on... peddling moderately all the way.

I don't do the less traveled bike routes because, A, the purpose of this crusade is to generate stirrings of the heart, and head which means being seen, and B, the bike routes tend to be heavily wooded, which isn't real useful for a solar fusion vehicle. 

I get my directions from google maps to whom I lie and say I am a car that wants no highway or tolls.

Oh, one of my programs said I climbed about 700 feet, which is quite bit of work.

I stop every 10 miles to check my battery level, tho thanks to some donations, I expect to leave Durham with a proper gauge.  But for now I use a multimeter and estimate, and it requires stopping.  I can't afford to run out of charge, and more importantly, I work to live within the confines of the solar fusion power I draw as I ride.  Again, the meter several days from now will be an enormous help given how I am pushing this vehicle wayyyyyyyyyyy beyond what anyone has even thought of pushing it. 

So at about mile 60 I was wayyyyyyy down the road, middle of nowhere, but there was a gas station so I pulled in so as to be off the highway when checking the charge level.

As usual, folks gathered and wanted to know what it is all about.

After the first group departed... the bikers came. They seemed nice ehough, and I told them what I had to say.

But when I turned my  back to put my hydration pouch in the backpack in my elf, they had taken a collection and handed me some money, so I could eat.  "You don't need to do that," I said.  They looked like they needed it more tham me.  "Thank you for what you are doing for us all."  And they left with a huge roar of their machines.  Those with means, so different, almost always.  Spiritually dead.

***** ELFusion repair complete (I think). Extra Battery arrived. 35-50 hour trip begins Sat at Noon....

I've been testing the repaired ELFusion axle for hours, seems to be ship shape, AND, 15-30% more efficient that I'd thought!  It may be that the broken axle not only sounded like war going on, but was a huge drag on the vehicle, reducing speed and or distance by 15-30%!!!!  Maybe not, but I think so, and I'll know more over the next few days. 

Day 15. I think I am having the most hilarious, news. As you know the axle in this vehicle was broken....

I think I am having the most hilarious, news. As you know the axle in this vehicle was broken. The reason I knew was because it sounded like a cement mixer with boulders in it when I rode. But what I seem to be discovering now that it is replaced with the new part, another symptom, which I did not know, it seems that it was robbing 20 to 30 percent of my speed. This is a highly efficient vehicle but weighs 160 pounds. And I was respectful, but a bit distressed, that I only seemed to be able to maintain about 7 miles an hour, six to seven miles an hour, when I was only peddling. It seemef to me that was a little bit slow. But I assumed, oh well, that is a characteristic of this vehicle. Based on my last hours worth of testing, it was a function of the broken axle! I think, flat ground, low wind conditions I can maintain about nine miles an hour. Just peddling. That might not impress you, or any cyclist, but it is a 20 to 30 percent increase over what I thought I had! This is wonderful, surprise. So, on my 325 miles ride Durham North Carolina, instead of a 50 hour ride, maybe it is only a 35 to 40 hour ride. Lol.  Tonight I think it's prudent to continue with an hour or more testing to be sure that things are ship shape before I head off into where there are little or no civilized locations for tens and tens of miles. Things seem to be ship shape and if they remain this way I expect to depart by 11 tomorrow morning. It has been extremely productive for my activist goals to parade solar power on display riding the boardwalk from 7 in the morning until 11 in the morning when the boardwalk closes to bicycles. On the theory that there is a mass population change as one group leaves on Friday and another mass group arrives on Friday night, I expect to expose this vehicle to the new group until 11 tomorrow morning and then to depart for Durham North Carolina.
