How do you measure happiness?  
Is it a question of degree?  
A measurement of more or less  
discontent to ecstasy. 
Is it enough to be content?  
 I think for most that must be true. 
Although sometimes by accident 
 you are allowed a different view.  
One moment of pure ecstasy. 
You know you are connected to 
Everything: An epiphany  
which makes you change your world view. 
 I think perhaps to be content 
 for me is quite sufficient.
