In reality, every moment is epic. Even this room, its quiet air flickering with miniscule mouse clicks and keyboard clatters, is an epic space in its own right. My scenic hallway overlook provides me with a view of endangered creatures, each one destined to grace the world with its presence only once, each countenance uniquely sculpted, eyes uniquely spaced, full of unrepeatable colors and emotions. If I could fully grasp the significance of what is going on here, of who these people are and how far they have traveled to get to this place, I think I would probably burst from my chair, fly into the hall, and seize the fingertips of every person that passed, greeting these incredible strangers... welcoming them with diplomatic reverence into the hallowed moment that we share.
I was reading your blog and had many a question about how you see life and then I reached this entry and then I fell silent.
