I've often thought about what it might be like to live in the trees. This might sound like murmuring hippy-babble, but seriously consider for a moment the therapeutic, inspirational, and unknown significance of such an experience. This passage is not meant to measure the feasibility of such a trial, rather to take smaller thoughts and explore the magnitude to which your consciousness can be inflated.
A line from an old Bob Marley song has really been sitting well with me lately. He sings, "So capital free! Oh what a feeling to be free, so capital free!" Standard of living is an individual fabrication of comfort that is on the forefront of our daily search. It is knowingly measured, therefore individually adopted and connected to a cognizant variable of happiness. What we don't know can't hurt us, right? And what we choose to block out of our own "happy-equation" is our choice. On the flip, what we don't know can't help us, so what if the heights of living standards were found in a capital-free tree home miles from minimum wage, rent payments, liability insurance, credit cards, and a well developed portfolio?... Or are we already so predisposed that we are now incapable of achieving such simple satisfaction from the brilliant unknown…

It's almost as if people are starting to gauge their own happiness with a budget and investment plan they made on an excel spreadsheet. I have yet to come across a mathematical equation where x + x = happy
Thanks for the interest. Happiness seems to be a complex equation, in the mind of the complexor.
Yosh, I agree about the serenity of just the thought of living in a tree home. Unfortunately, the ones I have seen in magazines are really, really expensive. I guess we have to try the type that the Swiss Family Robinson's built. Ahhh, the simple life.
For me, living in the trees is merely a metaphor for living a life in balance with the universe. When we take the time to stop to smell the flowers along the way and watch the butterfly flit with the breeze, we are indeed free.
Wonderfully put, thank you.
I had a colleague who lived on Hawaii in a tree for 2 years-- it always sounded idyllic (beyond the rainy season), though she now lives just as happy in a 4 walled house. Another colleague lives with his family in rural Vermont, as in a multi year process of going "off the grid", generating their own power, heating with their own felled lumber, raising animals for food (ironically he is a computer technology professional, so power includes computer and the 'net!).
It's easy to compare oneself against rather heroic or noble modes of living, and feel a bit less "worthy". I'm with the taoist, and find pretty much the same peace of mind with smaller scale acts of conservation (e.g. composting, going fluorescent) and especially in time spent backpacking, where one is completely self-contained and self-reliant... at least for a few days!
Well said.
