My God, a moment of bliss.
Why, isn’t that enough
for a whole lifetime?
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, “White Nights,” 1848. White Nights and Other Stories The Novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Volume X.

Why is this is not enough? I think instinctively we are always craving for more, hence our difficulties in life.
And that is the big question.
and maybe it is –
It can’t possibly be enough!
Ha. I knew that was coming.
My dad always says that the moment we get enough we seize to live.
We seize to Live, to Learn and Thrive…
I did catch that. I did. You mean what I mean. 🙂
Oh, to carry the joy of the smallest of beautiful things into the craziness of my day! Like seeing the moon this morning as I helped my daughter with a heavy load to her car. Turning and saying to the dog, “oh, Colt, look at moon.” Oh, to carry that beauty all day!
Oh that we could be satisfied. Beautiful.
So true.
