Epiphany Lost
Will it come back?
You are just walking up the freaking stairs. It takes between forty seconds and a minute, depending on mood and how many groceries I am carrying. Mind you, I have never timed it. I’m just guessing.
But when an epiphany smacks you across the face as you ascend those stairs you subtly switch into an entirely new thought pattern, in fact, it is more like dropping all thought patterns. You are suddenly in a null space completely divorced from your daily thought patterns. A hole opens up. You can suddenly see everything from a totally new perspective. You find yourself sinking into whatever you are looking at, yet instead of seeing it, you see BEYOND it. You flow through it.
Suddenly, you see a spider’s web of unseen connections. You suddenly see subtle connections between all the other shit that you’ve been thinking about. Everything, for a brief moment, makes sense. Don’t you just love epiphanies?
Then you get to your apartment door and you fumble with your keys. The task of unlocking the door is made difficult by those six bags of groceries you’re carrying. You unlock the door, enter your apartment then lock the door behind you. That’s just what you do.
After dropping all the groceries on the floor in front of the refrigerator the first thing you do is take off your shoes and socks…
