I really resonate with the feelings you are describing….I found it uplifting too! Thank you for amplifying some of the archetypal elements that were stirred during the DNC. I particularly enjoyed getting to relive Michelle Obama’s speech. It did seem like she was the center of the world in those moments, rousing and focusing our collective determination with such soul and potency. Amazing!

So wholehearted and resonant, Tom. Thank you for these reassuring and useful thoughts. If the DNC 2024 can evoke the numinous, there is not much more unifying and human than such energy -- may it remind us that while we may affiliate with one side or another, we can also step back and see how interconnected we all are, and that is crucial, especially now, to our survival.

With much gratitude to you!

Lovely, Tom - you are a beautiful human and scholar. Thank you for this. I have been sitting on an essay about how the DNCC cultivated a healthy sense of self and defined the opposition. Hopefully will get a chance to put that out this weekend. Much food for mind and heart.

Thanks Tom for giving us the opportunity to relive the DNC and to understand better and to put in context the sweep of emotion and relief so many are experiencing.
