As I drift back into sleep, I can't help thinking that it's a wonderful thing to be right about the world. To weigh the evidence, always incomplete, and correctly intuit the whole, to see the world in a grain of sand, to recognize its beauty, its simplicity, its truth. It's as close as we get to God in this life, and reside in the glow of such brief flashes of understanding, fully awake, sometimes for two or three seconds, at peace with our existence. And then back to sleep we go.
In this reflection, the author expresses a deep appreciation for moments of clarity and understanding that come unexpectedly. These brief instances allow one to see the beauty and simplicity of the world, highlighting how profound insights can emerge even from small things. The acknowledgment of these moments serves as a connection to a greater understanding of existence.
However, this clarity is fleeting, as soon one drifts back into a state of unawareness. The author captures the essence of these revelations, indicating that recognizing the truth about life's simplicity is akin to experiencing a divine revelation. Such insights bring a sense of peace, even if only for a short time.
