Epiphany - 05/08/2011

I've recently come to realize that there's no such thing as an epiphany. Wisdom isn't attained in an instant; I'm convinced Gautama's 40 days were really 40 years. Acceptance comes with time, not the insistence of an impatient mind. So, I'm not going to find myself on a bus from Surat Thani. But maybe I'll come back to Atlanta, Georgia a bit more at peace with the life I've half chosen, half drifted into; my relationship with a girl I find more amazing daily; and, of course, with myself, from whom there is no escape.
