@Susan > SARK was actually the wise woman who shared this poem with me. I just returned from a 4 day workshop with SARK and have been reading this poem out loud each day ever since. ~Stacey

Happiness floats…I like that, I like it alot. Thanks for posting the poem, and reminding me of Sark. I haven’t read her books in some time, I’ll have to dig her out as she doesn’t deserve to get dusty.

Wow - great poem. Thank you for admitting that you will make mistakes and won’t always be able to inspire people. How refreshing. I wish more people would discuss the reality of not having to be perfect all of the time. Please know that today you did in fact have the ability to impact someone (me).

I recently moved from lake front property to an urban environment. I have taped the following quote from the poem on to my computer “Even the fact that you once lived in a peaceful tree house and now live over a quarry of noise and dust cannot make you unhappy.” My living environment often gets me down but I will try to remember that I can still find happiness regardless of my view out my window (sigh). My heart still longs for views of the lake.
