I cannot relax until Bush is out of office and we end all these
stupid wars, where hundreds of innocents are dying everyday.
No amount of cappuccino, espresso or bacardi is going to make
me forget it.

Maybe something like EST might work... :)

It does not have to be anything more than that. I had to run earlier and could not complete my thought. Sorry for that.

There have been times that I was going for a brisk walk through some forests on a windy day. Another blissful experience. That was it. You do not have to have a prolonged sense of bliss. Once you recognize it, you are done. You have accomplished something really substantial in life.

Often times, I get that feeling after sipping my cup of white tea. I have a habit of never finishing my tea. I like to sip it slowly to enjoy the flavor and let it settle in my intestines(where ever it needs to go).

Yesterday was a very blissful day when I was cleaning my desk and putting my winter clothes in the closet and taking out the summer sensations. I had the music on in the background. Opus was playing, Live is Life. Then I decided to play something more lyrical and ended up routing my direction to one of my cyber homes.

While exploring some of the nice music selections, I came across a voice completely new to me singing some old tunes with a new twist. Simply lovely and beautiful. Since yesterday I am in a different mood. I recommend listening to Rabbi Shergil. A beautiful voice with very nice articulation. Both Jugni and Totia Mannmotia are lovely songs.

Romance and bliss in life do not come with a defined pattern. Any prolonged sensation can make you take it for granted. So, let`s experience and enjoy the brief moments. Let`s hope and pray that they are more frequent and we recognize and appreciate their occurence.

Rahul,

Very sweet. I agree with you that a nice cup of tea or coffee with an engrossing reading material and nice music or song in the background can be very blissful on a beautiful sunny or cloudy day :)

Re: # 2
Hi IXNO, thanks for ur comments.Well you are right one can`t be satisfied with coffe & a good book but sometimes only sometimes, if we try & find pleasure in these simple things of life, then I think it helps in our daily pursuit of other mundane duties, which we have to perform to satisfy our material needs.
