i often wondered where it is, and where to find it.
and as often it also finds its way to me
just as stealthily
and as mysteriously
though perhaps not by leaps and bounds
but just a smattering of its presence
i think it is the nature of humans to want it.
to search for it.
and without it we are like those
chocolate christmas ornaments: so shiny and lovely from the outside, but so very hollow within.
it is being able to accept someone despite knowing ALL the bad things.
and it is the knowing that one is accepted despite one's flaws. or past mistakes.
it is the casual undertone of a father who knows (and accepts) what is on his daughter's mind.
it is in the ability to do something you have been trying hard to do, but can never actually begin.
it is about realizing that teething starts are starts if any.
and obviously, it is always about finding it when everything is messy, clouded over and vague.
it is happiness. simply.
