HAPPINESS

"The measure of your life is the amount of beauty and happiness of which you are aware."
Agnes Martin

 These quarters plus a dime = Bus Fare.

They've traveled from Alaska, Florida, Nebraska and Virginia before arriving in my hand

 They carried me to the Zendo for a Sitting

 A Japanese poem by an author I forgot to ask the name of was recited, it may have been Issa, sounds a bit like him, so I will paraphrase...

 'Plum blossoms Fall all around me on my way home'
