Say What?

I was sorting through some old papers of mine the other day, and I found an application I made for an Episcopal scholarship. This scholarship was for those studying for the Episcopal priesthood. Some of you may be aware I was a postulant in the Southern Ohio diocese of the Episcopal church for a few months, until the consecration of Gene Robinson. I didn’t actually think I had a chance for the scholarship, after all, being a white male means the mainlines aren’t exactly in a hurry to court you (at least this was my experience). At any rate, this vague and virtually meaningless question was asked of all applicants:

Have you ever had an ah-ha moment where an experience in your life has exposed your mind to facts and your heart to feelings, thus allowing you to come to realize a deeper understanding? Explain.

    I’d be tempted to write that I experience almost daily during my reverie on the porcelain throne.

    I sure did have an ah-hah moment…the one where God told me to get the hell out of the Episcopal Church. Best Divine Advice I ever listened to. ;)

    Does being high count?

    I had lots of “a-ha” moments when I tried drugs. I think at one point I figured out how the US could become completely dependent on renewable energy if we just installed a stationary bike hooked up to a generator in every household and asked each member of the house to ride it for 20-60 min a day for cardio, for energy, and for a more fit America. “Why don’t we just do THAT?”

    Or were those “ah-huh??” moments?
