But my biggest epiphany was when I '"got" Hejira. I had the album for about two weeks, and I remember liking it though I hadn't really paid a lot of attention. But my epiphany moment is so vivid all these years later that I'm amazed I can recall the details. I was driving through a spring drizzle to Columbus to hang with some friends for the weekend. It was a Friday afternoon, and Amelia was playing, and all of a sudden, I was spellbound by every phrase because I realized how much genius was packed into every little bit. And I was called into the present moment throughout the entire trip, because my attention never veered from the music and the lyrics. I kept thinking, "she's a genius!" By the time Refuge had reached the instrumental break before the "I pulled off into a forest..." verse, I was rapturous! And every spring, there will come a rainy afternoon that reminds me of that day, and I'll get in the car and listen to Hejira again. Ken
