A Tree House

I love the thought of it! The sentiment of being nicely tucked away in a place so safe and so "members only", that you feel nothing but safe. Reminds me of an A.A. Milne poem from my childhood:

Solitude

I have a house where I go
When there's too many people,
I have a house where I go
Where no one can be;
I have a house where I go,
Where nobody ever says "No";
Where no one says anything- so
There is no one but me.

-from Now We Are Six

The only place better than "Solitude", is that lovely place where you are safe with friends, safe with those who know you and still love you. Thank you friends, you know who you are!
