28. You are an amazing writer, H2O Man.

You have the gift of letters. Your essays are masterpieces of logic and rhetoric. What you do, unlike anyone I've read, is put it together in a way that requires the readers to reach the destination within themselves.

We are on the path of no return apart from cockroaches crawling out of the mine-shaft condos after the nuclear fires are out. If we want to live, we can. All it takes is for us to want to -- individually and together. That requires, in your understanding and mine, democratic action the likes of which beat the Great Depression and won World War II. The money's there, hidden offshore by high net worth individuals and the corporations they own. Ask David Stockman and William K Black, as almost no one from either major political party will.

In the above essay, you no where write: "Love is the Greatest Power." This is the essence of the Teachings from around the globe. It is sorely missing in this age where those with the most gold make the rules and own the biggest guns anywhere. The power of Love, I believe, is the point of your essay and this thing we call the cosmos make. After I was done reading it, I knew that place. Not only that, whether just found or uncovered or rediscovered, it is now a place I won't forget: As opposed to chaos or whatever it is, we are nearer the day when light pours from our hearts and the mountains move at our command.
