    The experience of who you are.

    There is who we are
    and then there is who we aren't.
    .....We are not the body, not the Ego,
    not even the thoughts of who we are.

  • There are demon haunted worlds. Regions of utter darkness...

  • There are many forms of happiness.  A pot of tea and a good book on a quite day. Petting my cat, PK. Finding a candy bar I forgot I purchased.  A HUGE fart. A nap.  Sleeping late.

    Patting any amino is happiness for me. Do you know that patting a cat or dog has been medically proven to lower your blood pressure?

  • Yes. I'm less stressed, especially after a Festival of Flying Fetid Feces of a work day, when I get home and pet my cat.

    I have learned that genuine happiness is found when it's shared with others.

    Happiness comes to me in "spurts" sometimes and it doesn't seem to last. I'm weary of being happy nowadays.

    A bottle of cola in 1 hand and a plate with 10 slices of pizza on it in the other.. nothing screams true happiness than that.

  • Sorry Stuart, this gets a bit long...but as a lovely taste of life in happiness, I love the beginning of Book V, John Milton PARADISE LOST...from 1674...but as you see, the shadows are approaching, here...

    Now Morn, her rosy steps in the eastern clime
    Advancing, sowed the earth with orient pearl,
    When Adam waked, so customed; for his sleep
    Was aery-light, from pure digestion bred,

    And temperate vapours bland, which the only sound
    Of leaves and fuming rills, Aurora's fan,
    Lightly dispersed, and the shrill matin song
    Of birds on every bough; so much the more
    His wonder was to find unwakened Eve

    1With tresses discomposed, and glowing cheek,
    As through unquiet rest: He, on his side
    Leaning half raised, with looks of cordial love
    Hung over her enamoured, and beheld
    Beauty, which, whether waking or asleep,

    Shot forth peculiar graces; then with voice
    Mild, as when Zephyrus on Flora breathes,
    Her hand soft touching, whispered thus. Awake,
    My fairest, my espoused, my latest found,
    Heaven's last best gift, my ever new delight!
