Little Moments

Every so often I have little moments of inspiration. They are hard to explain, but I will tell you this: They give away the future. It could be brought on as easily as something you crave and make yourself for lunch. Or, a song you sing your niece/nephew to bed with. Have you ever had one?

In that moment, time freezes. You realize how comfortable that thing is. Say, for instance, that your little moment told you who you would marry. A normally scary thought for someone who isn't in a relationship at all, and is so unprepared for marriage, suddenly becomes pleasant and comfortable. Let's say this person is someone that you normally dislike a great deal. Well, in this moment, the idea suits you. It feels natural. Normal, if you will.

For this brief moment of revelation you want to run through the streets screaming that you have been foretold the future. You want to share with everyone, your news! But, after the moment is gone, you feel you cannot share it with anyone. For, just like a wish, it may not come true if you share your moment with someone else. That is why it is "personal revelation", is it not?
