Treehouse Builder: ...The trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.”
Question: What does it look like to “get away from it all”?
Is it a spectacular festival with all kinds of culture and color and celebration of life? A visit to a socially and historically significant city? Or is it the sand-strewn beaches of a far-away island that pique your imagination? Even island vacations have their share of tourists vying for catamaran rentals. And every one of these scenarios must come to an end as you board an airplane, rubbing elbows with hundreds of other people to return home. “Re-entry” can be rough!
What if, instead of the traditional view of vacationing, your getaway was right in your own backyard (or your back acreage)? You could enjoy your own escape at just the right spot on your property, return there any time you want, with your favorite company (or not!), and find peace, abiding rest, and restoration.
Build a World Treehouses treehouse on your Western NC property and let it beckon you out of the stresses of everyday life…faithfully, regularly, simply, graciously.
When I am Among the Trees by Mary Oliver
When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”
