Epiphany On Aisle 6

Epiphany On Aisle 6

Let’s say
you pray
to your favorite
Deity.

Even if that
Deity
is Consciousness
ItSelf.

You want
to know
The Truth
about
What Is.

Minutes later
you’ve parked
your car
and you’re
pushing
a cart
down the aisles
of your
customary
grocery store.

But you feel
as if
The Mystery
has descended
and you’re moving
through It.

Every Being
you encounter
is radiant
with the
promise
of a feature length
movie,
just about
Them.

You hate
small talk,
but you know
that Anything
they would say
to you,
and you
to them,
would be
teeming with
Meaning.

You sense
the presence of
angels,
hovering nearby,
egging you on.

Your prayer
has been
Answered.
