A House in a Tree

{i want to live here!}

I have always always always wanted to live in a tree. This has been my dream my entire life. I think it's because even at a young age, I have always had an incredible connection to nature. I remember playing outside, and my best friend was a tree in our backyard. I used to dance and sing and play around it for hours. One day this tree was cut down, and I cried for days. I tried to bring it back to life by bringing it seeds and watering it's stump every morning. I felt like a peice of me died with her. I will always remember that tree.

Today I woke up feeling alone and a little sad. I have had so much going on lately that I haven't given myself a chance to be still. I miss the sunshine and a warm breeze wrapping me up like a blanket. I need to get back to nature. I miss her and the comfort she brings as she looks into my eyes without judgement. I need to feel the freedom that I once felt as a little girl, dancing around an oak tree without a care in the world.

 The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. {Anne Frank}
