Do you ever have that "electric" or "flowy" feeling when you finally understand something? Say you are struggling with a certain task, and many different things you do not understand cloud your focus. These make you feel unconfident in your abilities. But then, you finally figure it out and all of the puzzle pieces fall into place. A feeling of relief and determination rush over you as you feel powerful enough to take on the task at hand with the newly found information and/or confidence. This is the amazing pleasure of what I am calling a "Realization." The wonderful moment where you can finally say: "I understand it now." I wrote this piece to paint a picture of that feeling in the moment. I do not intend to tell a story of struggle. This is a tapestry of that ecstatic feeling of pleasurable discovery.

This piece is dedicated to Bent Frequency Duo.
