bliss

somewhere far from now

we’ll wake to dance again

blissfully alive

Day Two: Once again, choosing to look for hope in the midst of everything. We’ll see how long this lasts!

I’ve no intention of ignoring the very real mess we’re in BUT I am trying to remember that I still have joy in my life. So in attempt number … (I’ve lost track!) I am choosing to recognize my happy places. Thanks for helping me commemorate those moments goes to Ronovan Writes haiku challenge (day / flaw) and to Restless Jo who shares my love for a good walk!

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?
