Particular moments

There are two words in Latin which apply to this idea of conversion. One is conversio, and refers to particular moments, particular decisions that you take to change something in your life. There may be a struggle, but it’s a limited but maybe important stage in your development, in your journey, where you make a break from the past. But it’s also something limited. It’s an act of change that you consent to or that you make and maybe have to remake as well.
