Pondering Happiness

Tina Stewart Brakebill

happiness unfound
awake, we dream of the day
when dawn returns joy

Questions that occur to me as I ponder happiness:

  • Can happiness be “unfound”? And if it can, does that mean it’s been lost or just remains unknown?
  • Is ignorance really bliss?
  • Is happy is as happy does?
  • And is there really such a thing as the Bluebird of Happiness?

  • How do we quantify happiness? Will we know when we’ve reached peak happy?
  • Can we ever understand the path to happiness? Is it a result of tangible actions or just a function of brain chemistry?

I can’t really answer my own questions but thanks to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie for challenging me to think about HAPPINESS  and to Sue’s Photo Challenge for leading me to the Bluebird of Happiness 🙂

Easy Rider

wistful dreams recalled

of daring easy riders

conjuring desire

I actually was a too young to have any thoughts about Easy Rider when it first came out but as a teenage I became obsessed with guys on motorcycles. And Peter Fonda on a bike-woo hoo! Probably a good thing I didn’t see the movie until years later (many years–I think I was in my 40s). Not sure if seeing the movie as a teen would have wrecked my obsession or not 😉 but I would have hated to miss out on that Fonda crush.

So thanks for the memories Ronovan Writes
