Yes, that's what I meant by both opening and epiphany (can't remember offhand which writer talked about such openings). But opening also covers the literal.

: think "epiphany" won't work here (not in Joycean sense anyway) but quite like "revelation" or simply "opening"

Thanks gallagy2. "epiphany" may be pushing it a bit all right.
