The Sundance Film Festival facilitates epiphanies.
I know because I've been here only one day and I can already feel, in the words of Carole King, the earth move under my feet and the sky

An epiphany is a sort of hit-you-over-the-head moment, a "sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning
of something," is how the dictionary puts it. Usually it's "initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience." In each of these low-budget films, the central character faces a life-changing situation that triggers an epiphany.

An adolescent asked Mozart how to compose symphonies. Mozart said that because the lad was so young, perhaps he should begin composing ballads. "But," the young man objected, "you wrote symphonies when you were only 10 years old." Mozart replied: "But I didn't have to ask how.

The great fact to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward; that a line drawn through the middle of the peaks and the valleys of the centuries always has an upward trend.

The word longing comes from the same root as the word long in the sense of length in either time or space and also the word belong, so that in its full richness to long suggests to yearn for a long time for something that is a long way off and something that we feel we belong to and that belongs to us
