It doesn't happen often but when it happens it's like having found a treasure. A treasure not to be shared but kept safe and enjoyed like a newfound gem.
It's going to be difficult to explain. This is because these moments, which could be anything; a meeting, a conversation, a realisation or even a revelation etc. (you name it. What is special for each one of us is is completely different...) feel so prescious, and if you share it with someone it will be less worth in some weird way. Or it might be misunderstood, dissected or rationalised until the beauty disappears.
In the last 10 years I have had two moments like this - two very different moments. I still remember the first as if it happened yesterday - a strange "Sliding doors" moment which left me quite confused like a pawn in a chess game. It was a long time ago and now the beauty has faded and I have actually told a friend about this some time ago - and confirmed the fact that it was better to keep it to myself.
And the second happened a few weeks ago and I feel more tranquil and happy than I have in a long time.
For the record :
No I haven't been recruited into a sect/religion, nor am I mentally unbalanced (though I'd probably say that even if I was :) but I'm sure a lot of internauts out there are safekeeping special moments that meant a great deal at some point in their lives too.
I'm just so grateful for this particular 'moment' that I felt like blogging it out loud.

Great work!
Have a nice weekend!
Astrid,
I understand....if you try to explain it, the magic will diminish. A life-changing revelation for you may not seem important or special at all to another person.
But you felt you had to mark the occasion by posting it on your blog, and that's totally appropriate!
I'm happy for you, even though I don't know what I'm happy about!
Take care,
JoAnn
