There
is no greater way to escape the troubles of daily life than to ascend into the
welcoming embrace of a tree house. Like a bird in its nest, we feel held and
safe in the branches, cloaked within a curtain of green leaves. Here we can
breathe more freely and think more clearly, our hearts and brains fed by the
oxygen released by the leaves. We float above the everyday world of the ground,
enjoying a bird’s-eye view of all that remains below.
We may choose to
be alone or we may invite a special friend to join us. Either way, this is our
private world in which we get to decide who comes and goes. It is our haven
where we can fully be who we are, shed the masks required by the world below,
and reveal our most hidden secrets, dreams, and desires. It is also an ideal
vantage point on the life that continues below the branches. Often, a new view
of a situation is just what we need to answer a difficult question, solve a
challenging problem, or see something we’ve been missing. It is as if we have
ascended into the heavens and are able to tap into a higher awareness. We can
draw on this airy energy to revitalize us, relax us, and feed us new ideas. When
we descend, we are ready to enter the world again, cleaner, clearer, and often
more inspired.
If you haven’t been in a tree house for a while, now may
be the time to make one for yourself or find one you can borrow. If you can’t
find or create an actual tree house, think of other venues that could provide
the same experience—a rooftop perch, a quiet spot in a grove of trees on a
hilltop, a light-filled attic. Or just close your eyes and visualize yourself
ensconced in your perfect home in the branches of your favorite tree.
