Happiness: the mid-point, perhaps, between contentment and joy. We all hope for it, but we all also have times when it seems far away. Sometimes, we even fail to notice when it's there.
These poems don't celebrate rapture or feverish delight. Mostly they capture moments of what Emily Dickinson calls "casual simplicity" - giggling irreverently during a yoga class or seeing a dragonfly land on a lake.
