word.

we need a word for that thrilling flash of recognition you get when you stumble across some sentence, some paragraph in some henceforth sacred book, which says exactly what you have always known with every fiber of your being, but have never known how to say. this word should connote also the lingering aftermath: a bittersweet concoction of indignation (that someone should steal your very thoughts!), envy (that they should steal your thoughts and improve upon them), and pure elation - that someone has felt it, that someone has said it, and thus, that you are not alone.
