#76, Bliss
bliss (noun): perfect happiness, great joy
We'll start this week with an audio clip from a podcast called Radiolab. Click the link below and listen to the first 5:20 of the episode Bliss.
First: a perfect moment. On day 86 of a 3-month trek to and from the South Pole, adventurer Aleksander Gamme discovered something he'd stashed under the ice at the start of his trip. He wasn't expecting such a rush of happiness in that cold, hungry instant, but he hit the bliss jackpot.
A video of Mr. Gamme's moment of bliss can be viewed here. For this entry, the task is to write a response that illustrates the theme, bliss. You can write about a personal moment of bliss from your life or perhaps a fictional moment of joy. Or, interpret the theme in another manner and write something in a different format. It's completely up to you. Please comment on your classmates' stories with @ too!
