Yearning

Between about 2001 and 2008, people on The Fourth Turning forums spent much time discussing whether the Crisis had started yet. The prediction in Generations was "soon after the new century" while The Fourth Turning suggested 2005. There were plenty of reasons for 9/11, the war in Iraq, Katrina, and other events to be considered. Neil Howe responded sometimes, mostly to say he didn't think any events fit... yet. 

He also mentioned a feeling about that time, which he referred to as "Turning Yearning." This was when people really were looking forward to the next Turning getting started, to these problems getting noticed, acknowledged, resolved. 

Perhaps it has been long enough already that everyone who cares accepts that the Crisis has started. And maybe being in the middle of it is exhausting enough that there is no need to ask for more of what we have. It does appear that problems are being worked on. In any case, Turning Yearning seems like yesterday's problem.
