A new view of a
situation is just what we need to answer a difficult question or see
something we’ve been missing. 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, and we
get to decide who comes and goes. It is our haven where we can be fully 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 more
inspired. If you haven’t been in a tree house in 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 or a light-filled attic. Or just close your
eyes and visualize yourself ensconced in your perfect home in the branches of
your favorite tree. |
