The moment experienced when everything in life suddenly makes sense – when everything fits into place and we know why – is a rare moment, but it does happen. If we are lucky enough we can bathe in the brevity of that moment for it passes as quickly as it arrives. Like Joyce’s ‘Epiphanies’ they can sometimes seem trivial, but are always crucial and revealing moments in our lives, delicate and fleeting.
In ‘Afer Ventus’ it is those moments of pure enlightenment which are described.
