I think I had one of those. One definition of epiphany states: "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."
On my way back from a client, I took a short-cut through farmland. Incredible green all over. We had a lot of rain lately and trees and shrubs and grass are just huge blobs of luscious green. A farmer was in his tractor, chatting on a cell-phone as he was dragging a wedding veil of seagulls behind his plow. Sun was out, warm, not too humid, a sudden regret for selling my last rag-top and motorcycle so long ago.
I pulled over to enjoy that moment.
At exactly that time my phone rang and the voice on the other end made me an offer for my countertop business. After I put down my cell, I turned the radio back up (XM "the Bridge #
27 here in Canuckistan)"Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay The world survives into another day And I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
Walls windows trees, waves coming through You be in me and I'll be in you Together in eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
Up among the firs where it smells so sweet Or down in the valley where the river used to be I got my mind on eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...
Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take Pointing a finger at eternity I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy
Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun, Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun (Should be!) they got me thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...
Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay One of these days we're going to sail away, going to sail into eternity some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...
------------ a very slow drive home.... I want another old Triumph TR3..wait.. I NEED one...
