Epiphanies are like that. They come out of no where, and they hit you hard.

The epiphany is not the moth, the moth just brought it on. The epiphany is the message, which is definitly true and relevatory when it really hits you: Montony is death. Veriaty is life. If you are doing the same thing, always looking in the same places, listening to the same people say the same things, you aren't living. It is when you look where you haven't, do what you have never done, meet people you havent met, with points of view you have not heard, that you come alive.

That is why kids are so full of life. Everything is new to them.

The "other place" is everywhere around you, behind fences, bushes and doors. Down alleys, rivers, and crooked streets. It is up on roof tops and under bridges, and other poetically sutible places. It is on you back porch railing.

Anyways, I think it is great you had a epiphany! I love having them myself. The idea of becoming a clown was a epiphany for me. Happend the thanksgiving after I graduated from college. Everything just sort of clicked, and said "Be a clown."
