Where Does Happiness Lie?

Can you find truth in the innocent smile of a child? 

Can you find truth in a look of confusion or sadness in another’s person’s eyes, a look that you recognize at a moment’s glance, because you have felt the same before? 

Can you find truth in a piece of music so beautiful that it instantly changes your mood, almost without your control? 

Can you find truth in the aroma of the sea and sand around you in a moment of perfect calm?

Can you find truth while gazing at the stillness of the night's sky and the infinity of space?

Can you find truth in the beat of your heart after you push your body to its limit? 

Can you find truth in a shared glance with someone you find attractive, a glance in which you peer, just a tiny bit into their soul and simultaneously open up yours? 

Maybe that truth is in these little fleeting moments and not some profound realization or a conclusion reached after years of searching. 

Or, maybe, I’ve gone insane.
