Let me take this a step further. Let's say that I'm not really talking about when a person feels happy, satisfied, alert- I'm talking superlatives here. I've often been happy, have often had a GOOD day, even often been very much in love. I have NOT often had a transcendant moment.

I'm not really talking either about a moment of time when everything is totally focused. For instance, if I am hanging from a root on a crumbling cliff, an unknown chasm below, I am FOCUSED. If by one mad swing I find myself grasping a secure clump and and am able to scramble myself out of there, I may experience a transcendant moment- or I may not. I may be gloriously happy to find myself alive and out of danger- but that is not, in my mind, a transcendant moment, in and of itself.

Sorry for changing the rules!
