What feeling does this passage from the middle of "Rattlesnake Hunt" convey? What words convey the feeling?

I took the snake in my hands. It was not cold, it was not clammy, and it lay trustingly in my hands, a thing that lived and breathed and had mortality like the rest of us. I felt an upsurgence of spirit.
