A feeling, an energy, a movement surging across the land. What is it? Exuberance. What is exuberance? "The quality of being full of energy, excitement and happiness."
Can it be that America is waking up to a new day? Something is happening. Huge crowds. Excited. Loving. Embracing. Super-charged with a renewed energy.
Is this feeling, this energy, rational or irrational?
I'd say totally rational. Sometimes there is a moment, a time, where everything clicks into place. Everythng crystalizes. As they say, "consciousness can change in an instant." The perfect idea, appearing at the exactly perfect time & place, the absolutely right person, or persons, meeting the day, and the moment, head-on in an exuberant embrace.
Harris/Walz today is like The Beatles in 1964. I know, maybe a stretch. I am reaching back into ancient pop cultural history. Comparing a political ticket with a pop band, might seem a bit far-fetched, but you know, it rings true and resonates with me. It's looks and feels like the same overwhelming exuberance, springing up instantly before our eyes.
It's about the people, right? Connecting with the people. The people are ready. It's like they've been waiting in the wings, ready to jump up and reclaim their own excitement, their own hopes, their own personal dreams, and yes, ready to grab onto the Great American Dream once again. "Dream, baby, Dream." The right phenomenon/the right moment. It is a magnificent thing to behold. Perfectly in time and in tune. "I wanna hold your hand..."
