This Tree & Me

High, dry and protected tree house
Ben Goossens

“But the trees seemed to know me.
They whispered among themselves and beckoned me nearer.
And looking around, I noticed the other small trees and wild plants
and grasses had sprung up under the protection of the trees we had placed there.

The trees had multiplied!
They were moving. In one small corner of the world,
Grandfather's dream was coming true and the trees were moving again.”

― Ruskin Bond, Rusty, the Boy from the Hills

Lost

"Save some green"
Ben Goossens

“Things are sweeter when they're lost. I know--because once I wanted something and got it.
It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, and when I got it; it turned to dust in my hand.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Scoot!

Very "Mobile HOME"
Ben Goossens

“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways?

Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!"

So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him

and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien

Destination: "Happiness"

Unreachable Top
Ben Goossens

“Destination addiction is a preoccupation with the idea that happiness

is in the next place, the next job, or with the next partner.

Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else,

it will never be where you are.”
