Well, I haven't related my life to a song for a while, so here goes:
The always fabulous Shins have this song that I was listening to, and the opening line, which has always been a favorite of mine, just hit me as putting perfectly to words something that had been rolling in the deep of my brain for a little while.
"One wound-up punch of intuition lays flat my whole take on us."
So simple, yet...it happens. Sometimes the punch has been a while in winding, and the intuition comes mainly from surprising outside sources because you are intentionally ignoring your own intuition.
And then, sometimes once the punching is over and you are laying on your back looking at the world, you realize that it was exactly what you needed.
Sorry if that was annoyingly cryptic. I just have to have a dramatic outlet somewhere.
On another note: this idea keeps popping up, most recently in my health and human relations book:
"Ultimately, it is daily existence rather than dramatic events that defines life for most of us."
Better make that daily life count then, eh?
