A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverbs 25:11 Epiphany ~ A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization: "I experienced an Epiphany, a spiritual flash that would change the way I viewed myself" Frank Maier. ~ Webster's Unabridged Dictionary Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday Epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience Life and the World. ~ John Milton English Poet, Historian and Scholar Mysterious and purely reflective as an illusive event which eclipses all other events; epiphany stands alone. There is no racing in pursuit to capture it and most certainly there is no amount of money that can purchase it. Seemingly, there is never any perceived explanation for its appearance. Certainly little less is conjured in relationship to its unprecedented timing. Epiphany's stealthily escape all manmade efforts of control, only providing major quantum leaps within man's psyche. There just is not any rationale to its luminous identity. Epiphany's can play upon our minds in blitheful strokes of ingenuity. Gentle and perfectly ordered to provide an essence of ease and peace, propelling Life forward. Other times as a lightning bolt, epiphany strikes with blinding speed and precision. In one heart stopping second transporting and rearranging the mind without so much as causing its benefactor to lift a finger. An unmistakable direct clearness takes hold each time an epiphany arrives to grace life. Dissipating the fog of yester years, to erasing embittered battle scars; an epiphany deftly performs its duty. How can anything be so incomparable in its magnitude of affect, and not be humanly manipulated? It seems to be built into mankind's existence, but not made by mankind's existence. A universal phenomena that does not depend upon mankind, but is made for mankind. For without these sparks of light the dark within would be too dark indeed. |
