Advice to an individual thinking of helping in Loving's work

"How are you doing health wise? My idea is to have various people come sit with you and when they do for whatever time period, they also adopt some variation of the word "love" into their names. My name, for example, when I come sit with you will be "Keep Loving." What do you think?"

Friend,

80% of all communication is non verbal.  That comes to mind Friend. My name came long after my behavior changed.  I've always been glad of that.  My health is good.  I've been at this work for years now without a break, so I'm very tired, but I haven't taken a break from breathing, either, nor has my heart taken a break, or my liver, or lungs.  We are designed to serve, to work. Our next 200 billion children deserve every waking second of our lives, so that they have a planet other than Hell. From me, they get every breath. I look at my behavior, and I understand myself as an Unviolent Marine on the battlefield.  If other Marines want to come alongside and fight with similar focus, dedication, passion, commitment, courage - well, we lose until that happens.  But others, more casually involved?  Collateral damage, and what good is there to that?  It seems incomprehensible to folks that I'm fine, that I, the fight, desperately needs reinforcements, fellow fighters, but that I don't need company, that it slows me down, drains me, distracts me, with the rarest of exceptions.  But that is how it is.  All are my sisters and brothers, to the good Marine too.  But on the field of battle?  I want soldiers, or to be left to the fight, alone, until Unviolent Marines materialize.  

Loving
