Is this not happiness?

"I am drinking with some romantic friends on a spring night and am just half-intoxicated, finding it difficult to stop drinking and equally difficult to go on. An understanding boy servant at the side suddenly brings in a package of bit firecrackers, about a dozen in number, and I rise from the table and go and fire them off: The smell of sulphur assails my nostrils and enters my brain and I feel comfortable all over my body. Ah, is this not happiness?"

Chin Shengt'an, who lists 33 "truly happy moments in life," as cited and quoted by Marsha Sinetar in Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow, p. 163.

    I am constantly searching for the rare, divine, silver-edged moments we are occasionally fortunate enough to experience, when one senses, or even actually sees, the strings that tie together the universe. Understanding the provenance of such moments, their meaning, and how to obtain more of them is what I am always seeking. This is a space for all of you to share your experiences that defy easy explanation. I hope a visit here leaves you feeling relieved, emboldened, and less alone. I look forward to hearing from you.
