Worldwide epiphany...

By Vichara


This could be the moment of change. This could be the day of revelation. This could be time that one epiphany you have been waiting for makes its appearance. All of the events, thoughts, feelings and experiences could gather together, stand up in front of you and smile. Are you ready, because they are ready for you. Open up your heart and let them be a force of good change and act as a catalyst for a more fulfilling life. This could be the day.

Did you know?
Editors who compile florilegia (to use the plural form of today's word) can be thought of as gathering a bouquet of sweet literary blossoms. English speakers picked up "florilegium" from a New Latin word that derives from Latin "florilegus," which can be translated as "culling flowers." In fact, "florilegium" initially applied to a collection of flowers, and later to books about flowers, but it wasn't long before the word began to be used for (as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it) "a collection of the flowers of literature." And "florilegium" isn't the only English collecting term with a floral heritage; its synonym "anthology" comes from the Greek word for "flower gathering."
