At last Epiphany
By veingo
I can't remember if I was 7, or 8, when I learned the word.
But I held onto the meaning.
And I waited.
I waited through grade school,
and good times.
Through high school,
and bad times.
Hunger pains,
and soreness from laughing.
There were births,
and deaths.
I got married,
and divorced.
And I waited.
And waited.
Then yesterday it all became clear.
Last night I had a dream so vivid.
Of the place I'm most comfortable.
And everyone I love was there.
Past present, and future.
And this morning the smell of sassafras
followed me everywhere I went.

mm m. .i really loved the draping mystery of the 'word'; denotes sometimes in some minds a spiritual connotation. .. . 'sassafras' [and 'epiphany both] have a special meaning for me.. when iw as little, i ahd a pop-up book [remember those???] which was one of my faves. the main character, Steffanie Pepper, lived in Sassafras and i thought it would be the msot eprfect place, especially when the dilapidated old house would pop up surrounded by trees. . .. .and her kite would fly into the window and force her inside. ...did i jsut ramble? oopsies~ you must have touched a soft spot in me :}

All I know is I had a dream like that and then a good number of the women in my dream suddenly lost all their clothes and began crawling all over me... after that... I could smell something.... dont know if it was sassafras or just the scent of some awesome ass. no really, this was very thoughtful and provocative... i like the leap and the way it calls into question the significance of sassafras...
