The connection in an epiphany is a very emotional event: It's
almost a manic state. (ok, it *is* a manic state) But... it's
that moment when it all makes perfect sense. It's rational. You
can explain it. You can draw pictures. You can make it a poem.
Doesn't matter the expressive outlet at that moment: you've "got
it". I know this from being cursed with thing not making sense
until they "click in", and it is like a "click". All the gears
going into place and the machine begins to work. The program
I've been putting together compiles and I can follow it through
from start to finish _as it's running_. I say cursed because it
makes me look weird sometimes because I'm prone to epiphany. The
whole *thing* of it is completely absurd. The epiphany is
absurd. The world surrounding the me who is having the epiphany
is absurd for not seeing it. There's nothing that's NOT absurd
really* :) === I think it's awesome that you can explain it from
a philosophical point of view. My knowledge of philosophy is
sorely shallow and limited but what you've explained is exactly
the same 'it' I get but with much stronger explanatory powers
than I could give. ==
