Finding Happiness
“This is your atelier?” Amy gasped. “It’s stunning!”
Priscilla grasped the chilly railing. Beautiful, she thought, but lonely.
“Remarkable!”
And unrelateable, Priscilla swallowed hard.
“Breathtaking!”
And so distant.
A different Priscilla’s words hijacked her thoughts—Happiness is like a crystal… She chuckled. “There are some downsides, but it’s my treasure.”
Priscilla Leonard’s poem Happiness was on my mind this morning, so I worked it in!

It worked when I tried it, but I went back and re-entered it, just in case. Sigh. Technology and I struggle sometimes…

Lovely, it’s all about perspective isn’t it. At first I was confused by ‘a different Priscilla’s words” but then read your note and the poem and I got it. Thanks for sharing.

Perspective is all there is, I suppose. The ring-side view of Priscilla’s inner world is very illuminating.

Who wouldn’t love a studio like that? It’s lovely, Angela!
My cousin in Maryland bought an old church and renovated it to be his family’s home. His wife uses the former bell tower as her sewing room. They love it! The downside is they get their fair share of people knocking on the front door looking for a priest! ~ Nancy
