I don't know if bliss is possible and I've always thought that my best times will be later in life.
I had praying grandmothers who bathed me in "The Word" and filled the atmosphere with worship. Though I developed my own personal spiritual relationship later in life, the foundation they laid is what my faith was built upon.
Books that change you, even later in life, give you a kind of electrical shock as the world takes a different shape.
