A Moment of Epiphany

                                                                        In literature, an epiphany is a brief, powerful moment where a character experiences sudden insight or realization. Writers like James Joyce often used such moments to reveal the hidden emotional depth of ordinary life. Today, I had a moment like that myself.

I began the day feeling low, emotionally heavy, missing someone I hadn’t seen in seven months. He’s someone who once meant a lot to me. We were good friends. That feeling of longing stayed with me all morning. I didn’t exactly pray, but my heart kept wishing to see him again, just once.

Then, at 12:35 PM, while walking, something unexpected happened. I saw him. Just like that. He crossed my path. Our eyes met for less than a second, and we didn’t say a word. But in that tiny moment, something inside me shifted. It was real, silent, and strangely meaningful.

This experience reminded me of how literature often finds beauty in small things, in the unspoken, in the quiet glances, in what isn’t said out loud. That single glance felt like a whole conversation.

Even though we didn’t speak, that brief eye contact meant the world to me. It reminded me how deep human emotions can be, and how they often surface in the most unexpected ways. Just like in a novel, where the smallest moments can carry the biggest weight, this one stayed with me.

I thank God for it.
