Epiphany Egg

Is there such a thing as one half of an epiphany?

The author Murakami describes two anteaters he saw at the zoo. It was cold and they were tight together completely intertwined so that they were one ball of fuzz. It was a striking image, but useless.

These marooned images sometimes come back when least expected, summoned by some cosmic attraction. Don't let it go! A new whole is formed. A pure, raw, new thought- it is the best type of thought.
