Onward & onward! In liberated moments, we know that a new picture of life & duty is already possible
"...; the elements already exist in many minds around you, of a doctrine of life which shall transcend any written record we have. The new statement will comprise the skepticisms, as well as the faiths of a society, and out of unbeliefs a creed shall be formed. For, skepticisms are not gratuitous or lawless, but are limitations of the affirmative statement, and the new philosophy must take them in, and make affirmations out of them, just as it must include the oldest beliefs...."
Ralph Waldo Emerson "Experience"

Thought this applied to the current moment in over and above the current election cycle, but also the convention, moment, epoch. Ralphie has these acute predictive powers, and often seems to be speaking to us about what is about to come.
