I think mine has been not so much an epiphany as discovering, like the growing weight of water, trickle by trickle, filling the reservoir behind a dam what part of me has always known, deep down... Like Gandalf seeking to cross the pass of Caradhras, because he knew, deep down, what lay there...
Mine was a slow burn experience (in the UK). Iffy about three weeks to flatten the curve... but then they don't think like or listen to me anyway...
Lockdowns going on and on and on - most I talk to, seem to be in another world (but, looking back, I did not talk like I do now!)
Bit slow on face masks - I was hard on myself when one of my few non-Covidian friends said 'But I thought you would be exempt.' After a couple of months of wearing a mask, I was exempt from the second our conversation ended.
By the time of the vax. No way! Never, never, never. I started to gear up to lose my job, drop out of society... and then in late 2021 and early 2022 the tide turned...

Blessings upon all who share love and truth on this webpage, now and all those these last few distraught years. 'All will be well, and all will be well, and all manner of things shall be well.'
