***** pic. Dr. King, Rarely has history produced one as great as you. Creator bless your soul. But poverty was the wrong focus, as it suggests that enough ‘stuff’ in the prevailing materialistic culture is the answer to Life. It is not. By that measure Native Americans prior to Columbus were destitute. They may in fact have been the richest folks that humanity has ever produced. Meaningful life, Loving, Joy, must be the measure. “Life’s most persistant question is: what are you doing to help others.” MLK Jr. THAT’s it.

Dr. King,

I think that the biggest challenge for westerners that try to 'help' the developing world, is to avoid addicting folks to stuff, but to foster Loving, instead, something that often developing countries are infinitely better at than we westerners. Loving CARES about the material needs of others, but only with the greatest care do we avoid turning material wellbeing into the God.

"Loving, do you want to die here in our home?" Angels Bruce and Kathleen

[[NOTE: Creation is NOT being destroyed by fossil fuels!!!!!

Creation is being destroyed by western-led, global, cruel, deadly Famine for Universal Family (the ENTIRETY, THE 100% OF THE Gospel of Jesus, MLK Jr, Gandhi, Tolstoy, Montagu, Sorokin... and others [LIBRARY TAB above]. FULL STOP.).  UNOPPOSED Ecocidal Fossil fuel use is just one of the SYMPTOMS.

CREATION IS DYING FOR LACK OF EXAMPLES OF UNIVERSAL FAMILY.  The following is one such example. Hence, I've reposted this private conversation, not to violate privacy, but to remind us of what Still, in these remaining moments we have to turn the Titanic, what Still could Save us, individually, and collectively. More HERE.]]...

------

They live about 10 miles NE of DC.  Met Bruce, his below shoulder length hair and beard, 50ish, in Feb, when he appeared with a huge bag of food, canned stuff, etc, as one of the now 50+ bags he and his Loving partner, wife, Kathleen deliver every Saturday to we DC area homeless - driving to spots only Angels could see.  , Met Kathleen this last week - they picked me up at the end of their 3 hour trek of delivery, and took me out to vegetarian feast and to their wonderful warm house to chat.

Breathtakingly Loving.

He found and watched last night's video log (must be one of the handful that have subscribed to the blog, or now that I have my FB blog-feed fixed, maybe he caught the repost on FB):

His comment on FB that I just saw?

"I know how important the vigil is to you. I know this is especially more so with limited time. I also know how hot this summer is going to be. Do you want to stay with us? Die here in our home? I don't want to leave you out there when you're not well. I didn't even show you our backyard. It's a little nature haven with privacy and a tent and a chiminea. if you do not want to be indoors much but somewhere safe and clear of anything that can be a problem. I am your brother and I have to put this out there cause I care greatly for your well being and comfort in this time of less time."

Loving's reply:

"WOW.  WOW.  WOW.  WOW.

WOW.

WOW.

Well, it LOOKS like I'm gunna die pretty fast but we don't KNOW that yet.  Let's not rush things!!!

Bruce, you and Kathleen are Angel Wings to me.  I'm crying now at your Good offer.  Not crying for myself, at all.  I just cry when I feel the beat of Angel Wings. So rare.

That could work,  your tent in your back yard, that could work, to die, or for 2 months chemo (you have metro access, don't you?), tho before the real serious dying part happened I'd move to Peter's House(?) a real nice hospice in DC for we homeless.  Deeply nice place, and they could give me whatever pain meds I'd need. 

Oh, the 'vigil important to me?' No.  The vigil is important to YOU, and every young person you'll ever care about.  That's why I do it, and will, I expect with any and every functional moment I'm given.

Let's see what the next 3 or 4 weeks tells us.

Loving u and Kath

[Bruce I reposted this important dialog here - . If you feel this inappropriate of me, pls just let me know (no explanation needed) and I['ll take it down immediately. But as I said ad nauseum on Tues, we're dying from lack of Examples of Loving, and you two have just given us a big one.]"

His reply -

"I am happy to know that you have a plan. Yes we are 4 blocks from one metro station (pg plaza) and 7 blocks from another (west h...) both on the xxx line. I feel like this back yard thing is the perfect time out for you. You can have access to the house but also come and go at anytime without it being a factor in any way. You let me know when to put up the tent. We also have a hammock which is very comfy too that I am about to rig up in a private spot also. We don't use a lawnmower with an engine anymore neither do our neighbors. The back yard is free from traffic fumes and city sounds or very many places you can even be seen by any of our neighbors. I say it is peaceful and private and it belongs to you now. <<>>. My cell # is <<>>  but it doesn't work on rainy days. Okay move here when you're ready!"

Loving's reply -

"There, you made me cry again. Here's where I posted - http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ . Hugs to you both.

Unless all of a sudden the cancer does what is supposed to be doing by now, crippling me, I'll greedily do every second I can, here, maintaining my post at the embassy. But, if you remain willing, you guys would be my current, pirmary plan for 2 months of chemo, if they determine that in the last 4 months this didn't become un-curable. Hugs."

***** [updated] Cancer Update 03.25.13 'Racing to leave: "Loving for Joy: What might have Saved me from Wasting most of a Lifetime on Pleasure rather than Feasting on, Serving Up, Loving for Joy." ' Loving

The webcam is down, not operating, so I type.

My only symptoms thus far are bouts of diarrhea several times a week, but meds the Unity Health Care free clinic here in DC gave me are managing that real nicely.  Other than that, on the med front, a lifelong involuntary, while I sleep teeth grinding has elimintated many of my crowns, literally, exposing the nerves underneath, and eating is becoming quite painful.  I'll see next week if the med clinic can provide me enough relief that I can remain functional in whatever months I have left.

My Joy level remains 9.5 out of 10, each breath, because I dedicate myself each breath to trying to unleash a global epidemic of Universal Family that is the only way to avert Ecocide.  All indications I'm the equivalent of Heart Paddles in a graveyard, or a temporance counselor in a drug den.  I wish I were kidding, or exaggerating. 

My primary focus is in creating what might functionally serve as Loving University, on the web, and in the Universal Ether, in the event that at some future time, someone, with the yearnings latent in me, I can provide guidance, resources, encouragement, education, protection, nurturance, coming alongside Jesus in the effort as He Died to get us to do.

I'm joyfully racing Death, tho I can't see It; striving to leave as much Help as I can for after I pass on.

I think it might take the form of, or at least follow the goal of answering:

"Loving for Joy: What might have Saved me from Wasting most of a Lifetime on Pleasure rather than Feasting on, Serving Up, Loving for Joy."
