Aloha from Volcano!

Aloha Harmony

Here is the moongate to the treehouse. One day soon you will be carried through this gate, and then another day you will walk through it.

I often think of the treehouse as Harmony's treehouse. In future days I hope you will spend happy hours, exciting days, and lovely nights here, dreaming your special dreams and inventing your life.

The treehouse is a house of dreams. It came about from many day dreams about someday building a treehouse. The dream was so strong and powerful that one day when tutu kane Robert and I had what seemed like a pile of money, we went ahead and did it. We had already found a bit of land full of trees and other rainforest plants and songbirds, and made it our own.

We found a professional treehouse builder, so the house would be safe up in the trees. Tutu Kane and Roderick the builder pushed their way through the ginger plants and uluhe ferns climbing up the ohia trees and making the jungle so thick you could not see through it. They came upon a great bulge in the ground, with ginger growing all over it, and uluhe curls unfurling in long strands making a tangle of vines.

After they had cut through the jungle, they saw the bulge was a fat bubble of lava almost twenty feet high that had burst and collapsed. Where the bubble had fallen in on itself there was a secret path up the back side. They could both see it clearly in their imaginations: a secret house in the sacred forest, over a lava tube, with a secret back way in.

Tutu Kane drew a design for the secret back door, and designer Roderick climbed into the trees to work on his vision.

That was the beginning of the treehouse.
