Neighbor & A Tree, That´s All You Need. And clean air, clean water, healthy babies, happy teenagers, satisfied grandmas and grandpas, light in our hearts, peace on the planet, and homemade pie.

This is my friend Kelly´s story about her mom and aunt´s imaginary treehouse.

"My mom and sister, Mary each had five kids who as you might imagine made them just a little nuts.

The worry and chaos brought lines to their faces and white hair to their heads.

They dreamt of escaping the drama of their crazy children-who even as grown-ups, still managed to make their lives anything but worry-free.

Their imaginary treehouse was where they could rise above it all and be kids themselves again.

A place where they were no longer identified by what their children did or what they wanted for them.

A place of, art, literature, music, and best of all peace.
