“We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.” George Bernard Shaw
Can You Tell Me? What happened, can you tell me my life story from the beginning and unpeel the dark, murky shapes of origin buried in the fog of becoming, now long receded, lost even, in the passage of time which birthed me, released me towards the next step, which is, as yet, unclear, just like all the other steps.

Unfortunately or fortunately, as the case maybe, it’s not like that ! A Life has at least ‘ to some extent ‘, at freedom to proceed on it’s own path!

Where would you say those epiphany moments in life figure in the murky history of becoming?

A very good question Liz, I think in my own journey they’ve been the spark in the ordinary, I must say I look for them nowadays 🙂

My epiphanies have all come from books and discussions of books. (At least the ones I consider joyful. I’ve had other life-changing realizations that I would not consider epiphanies; there was no joy involved.)

Yes, books, conversations, music does it for me too, and yes, the joyless ones too (rarely palatable)

Maybe if all the steps were clear, we would stay where we are and never go forward.
