This Too Shall Pass

I was thinking about how the dollar sign, the arch-symbol of our modern culture, relates to the symbol I think represents pre-historic culture, the infinity sign. It occured to me that the dollar symbol could be drawn using the infinity sign as its base. By standing the infinity on its end, disconnecting the middle, breaking the new piece in two, straightening them and aligning them in parallel vertical positions, the transformation is complete. This led me to the idea that the tranformative process could continue and that the infinity sign could reconnect itself. Good news, and an insight which has given me a feeling that the dire and dreadful nature of our times are only a passing phase in the emerging of intelligence in the cosmos.
