For all my adult life I’ve read about a philosophical or spiritual concept called either the Zeitgeist or the Spiritus Mundi or the hand of God. By whatever name, it is meant to move the world, at times against the world’s will, in the direction the world need go.
That direction is always and ever to greater and greater dignity and greater and greater freedom. This evening in Times Square this philosophical and spiritual concept felt as palpable and present as my own flesh or the flesh and presence of the thousands and thousands of souls there gathered to demand their dignity and demand their freedom.
Come.
