the gift of an epiphany.....

“There comes a point when you either embrace who and what you are, or condemn yourself to be miserable all your days. Other people will try to make you miserable; don't help them by doing the job yourself.” ― — Laurell K. Hamilton

EPIPHANY:  A sudden realization about the nature or meaning of something.
An epiphany can often come about due to some experience that may trigger the sudden "aha".

Incredible light flashes along a pathway,
fire blazes from a bush in desert places without 
burning anything up,
water
thirst-quenching 
life saving water springs forth from dry ground
awaking our senses 
and
our capacity to actualize into 
that which is intended.

Epiphanies..
wise men and  wise women bearing gifts
being led by a bright star against the dark sky,
in search of something,
something they had never encountered before
expecting a new awareness of hope
and
suddenly
without rhyme or reason
one finds oneself
being changed
twisted,
challenged
world turned upside down
inside out
opening up a whole new world
full of the possible
and
fulfilling impossible missions.

The New Year will bring them to us,
in
the midst of our ordinary lives,
extraordinary encounters
that
fill us with hope,
change our being,
help us blossom into more than we ever expected to become....

Epiphanies.
possibilities unlimited.
watch
open your eyes,
the light flashes across the sky
and
the bush..
the bush of holiness burns wherever we are..
may we find our way,
open our heart
and
be changed...
and
then in turn
may we change the world
one small gift at a time.

Happy New Years to all of you...
be all that you are meant to be...
Awaken
to
grace,
hope,
and
love.

Peace and Blessings from the radical rambler!!!

Pam,
The best part for me - "something they had never encountered before expecting a new awareness of hope and suddenly without rhyme or reason one finds oneself being changed twisted, challenged world..."
It's those moments more than the orchestrated ones. The moments when there is a pull from deep inside...I pray for us all to be what we were meant to be...and further more, to have the ability to acknowledge that divine push you've so wonderfully described.
Happy New Year Pam,wish you happy, peaceful, insightful and fun filled times this year and always.
