I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan, like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
Bob DylanEveryone of them words rang true and glowed like burning coal, pouring off every page like it was written in my soul from me to you.
Bob DylanA lot of people say there is no happiness in this life, and certainly there's no permanent happiness. But self-sufficiency creates happiness. Happiness is a state of bliss. Just because you're satisfied one moment - saying yes, it's a good meal, makes me happy - well, that's not going to necessarily be true the next hour. Life has its ups and downs, and time has to be your partner. Time is your soul mate. Children are happy. But they haven't really experienced ups and downs yet. I'm not exactly sure what happiness even means. I don't know if I personally could define it.
