happiness is fleeting, consuming, it's losing time.  it's a realization from your soul, a clear answer to a murky problem.  then a fissure to a new question.  a wave of kindness form the eyes of a stranger, a loved one or someone in between.  when you inhale with clarity the depth of a shared vibration.  it's an inapropriate laughing fit, it's entrenched in a newborn's smell.

I don't think you achieve happiness, I think you experience it.  let it come to you.
