Think about the significance of being in a place where something happens to you that becomes a kind of benchmark, a defining moment that you return to in your memory.

Some of us might experience that defining moment as a wonder or a kind of positive experience, a mountaintop experience. Here something happens that takes us by surprise by its sudden clarity and brilliance, and we experience something we’ve never experienced before, something that takes our breath away.
