I really like this one, Dino.

Old clocks had pendulums. We have my grandparents "Grandfather clock". Made of curly maple in the 18th century. It has wooden works. And it has a pendulum. I don't run the clock much, the gears, the ticking and the bell ringing is much too loud. But I plan to get it going again when the pendulum of justice begins its swing back.

It's just a feeling. Not enough facts. Just intuition that is as often wrong as it is right. But a few things are giving me indicators. Maybe the return of the pendulum is about to begin...

Everything that's written here comes across as very wise 👍

Masaru Emoto's experiment proves exactly just that: if you (as individual, society, country or the World) expose yourself to words of hate, anger, derogatory speeches and other actions directed this way you actually get yourself sick, ill with negative energy ending up in a state of cynicism, cruelty and disdain towards others !!!!

Since the algorithms on social media are setup to roll and promote trivial, cruel content going viral there is no wonder we are in this state of mind !!!

Dino, you've put the truth in your own words again, good buddy. Well done!

This vast resistance and the loose, informal, often micro-level alliances that fuel it, is speaking with one, soft yet unbelievably powerful voice that will outcast or topple the taco empire-wannabe - maybe both at the same time, but otherwise whichever comes first. Maybe in our lifetime, maybe not, but it will happen.

And though it is one voice, it is founded on many, many individual voices, such as yours. I marvel at yours/others'/and (hopefully without undue pride) mine, daily, and intend to keep right on doing it. And to keep my own circle small, at least in the beginning. Until. Just until...

*outlast*, not "outcast". Though maybe that, too. Cast out empires, cast off all oppression. I don't believe in coincidences.
