Oprah Winfrey

Yes, and nothing is better also than shared awe, which you call...

Collective effervescence.

And a lot of people who are listening and watching us right now, you all have experienced this.

Yeah.

You know, I remember having a gospel brunch here on the lawn many years ago, and I had Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick and Mariah Carey, and all of them were here.

And someone was passing the mic and literally everybody in the audience, all of us were in collective effervescence.

We had never seen anything like it or experienced anything like it.

And it was like the spirit came in to each of them and then entered us.

It was spectacular.

But lots of people experience this in sports, sporting events.

Yeah.

Concerts.

Yeah.

I remember just recently this past year, I went to see Gypsy with Audra McDonald.

Uh-huh.

And that performance of hers was, I just started weeping now, was out of body.

Yeah.

Was an out of body experience.

And so was Nicole in Sunset Boulevard, out of body.

So you were just amazed that a human being can do that.
