Something precise and intangible is happening right now but my guesses can only tease at the contours of this 'what.' I just read Humbert's description of Lolita play-acting a tennis serve on page 233 after having united all 3 belts in Fight Night: Champion for the XBOX 360 and chatting with an unbelievably pretty correspondent and friend while waiting for my last load of laundry to finish and my youngest sister has made cookies.
Additionally, I just got to the solo part in Painted by Canadian alt rock band Evans Blue.
I imagine this is quite similar to the plight of economists, whose charge it is to identify our ideal social situation via data sets just as it recedes from view. My hope is that a moment of contentment is easier to repeat than a responsible and compassionate social contract.
But, wow, this is a wonderful feeling right now.
