E-piph-a-ny


"3. a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. " (dictionary.com)


Escaping from the other adults in the Macaroni Grill, the kids and I escape to watch other little ones play in a fountain. Seized with a sense of purpose, I hoist both kids in the air, squeeze them tightly to either side. We three gaze at the jets of water shooting skyward, the other frolicing kids, and the fading sun. I feel it.
