In college I was on the women’s unofficial rugby team. We went to play at another campus then after the games went up to the cliffs to party. As usual all there was to drink was beer which I don’t like so I wondered off by myself. Was sitting on the cliff overlooking the the town. It was dark and the sky had millions of stars and the town below had lights twinkling. It was beautiful, awesome. I felt so content. I’ll never forget it.
What was the first time you felt an overwhelming sense of contentment?
