James and important things, James and Sol, Jay and Daisy...


 

We love you, she spoke loudly out the window...


 

I really don't know love at all... Joni Mitchell?

 The Epitaph on our species, and on virtually all of us.

And even the one in a million of us that have been loved probably don't know it. Unless we are unconditionally loved and feel it from our first days, as I was by my father, we can't know love.

Daisy in The Great Gatsby.

Jesus loved us, but we don't know it despite all the singing.

It's life's Illusions I recall. Yes, all of us have the illusion We've Been Loved, that we are loved. Not I, except by my father. A curse, the divine blessing.

As good a place to die as any. Better than most. Sometimes Sol and I get really really really really lucky.

 As near as I could tell from Google Maps there were no houses on this dirt road. About an hour after being here car drove by. Half an hour later a young woman with her three dogs appeared oh, Karen. If you need anything we are in a house a mile up the road, don't hesitate to come up. Oh my goodness what a nice Soul. Stay as long as you want! We had a lovely chat. I expect we'll be gone in the morning. Magnificent place. Extreme difficulty, pain, in walking, after being beaten to a pulp by Katahdin several days ago. But we can cycle. The mission goes on.

I have few regrets, but not telling this man thanks years ago is one.

 He was the gym teacher in middle school and track coach in high school and he was always decent to me and that made all the difference period 


James, that was a pretty raw video you posted from the last day or so about everything your life.....

 I mean maybe you're being exhausted and in extreme pain from attempting Katahdin had something to do with it. Are you sure you should have posted that?

WWell, I thought of that, but that's my core oh, it doesn't come to the surface hardly ever like that, but that's my core. I think it was Jesus core.

I had forgotten, doing good in the world can only help.

 And my entire adulthood has been spent doing that in different ways, giving everything I had, not taking the credit of others, not stealing the spotlight, doing the minute-by-minute work of contributing to the lives of others. Not manipulating and exploiting others for my selfish ends, is almost all of us do. I have been and remain a doer, not a taker. I wouldn't have it any other way. That's where the joy is. But a lot of hurt and being used too. And that makes me feel better. And maybe give me some idea of a path out of this Gloom.
