This open forum opened my eyes
People reviewed poetic looks and listened
The cooks took turns administering pies
To settle the hunger for peace, our egos glistened
Then our hearts throbbed with courage
The zen situation a moment of joy
The combination of currents
And the river water of love to a girl and boy
There was names of kind herbs
Exchanged with mankind
The harmony shifted our filters
As we all did rewind
Into a time of tenderness
Looking glass rhythms
Where all of our thoughts
Became one with the prism
The visions for peace
then depicted through art
Belayed how we needed
Our cities garden to start
Promoting the gift of a
Beanstalk to Mars
So children of amnesty
May reach for the stars

Peace and well-being

I cannot wait to come see your tree! I want to do a similar piece of art on our pepper tree. Perhaps a movement could start…magic trees equal peace!!! Who could possibly bear any ill will during and after experiencing this magic tree? Thank you for bring beauty to the world. You rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace

Much hope and inspiration you offer by the display of what I call “The Living Tree” as you only have to be within the tree’s presence once – and forever it’s beauty and inspiration LIVES within your heart always. Thank you for your passion.

Sitting here on Christmas morning reflecting on all the Joy and Happiness in this World. Your TREE is truly beautiful. You are the Robert Frost of modern day.

Incredible so glad I was able to come by and look at your work, I must say I was simply amazed. Here is a panoramic I took.

I just wanted to let you know that your tree is beautiful and I’ve never seen anything like it. I hope you continue to do this because I plan on visiting again and again. I also thought you would like to know that while my boyfriend and I were admiring your tree, Chase Daniel and his girlfriend stopped by. I have a picture of them in front of the tree, they are looking in a different direction because my boyfriend was taking pictures for them on their camera, but you can tell it is Chase. Thanks again for all your hard work, I truly appreciate it!

Dear Mr. Treelighter,
Thank you for your visions of the magic tree. It is truly stunning. You are a gift for everyone on Christmas.

We recently viewed the Magic Tree while visiting my sister who lives in Columbia, MO. This is the most amazing exhibition of lights we have ever seen. It is truly magical and spititual even though it is not a ‘religious’ representation nor the typical Christmas display of lights. The man-hours of putting up these lights is awesome. We’d like to use one of our photos as a screen saver. Your work should be commended through some kind of national recognition. We’ll view the Magic Tree every year you continue to put it up. Thanks for the “magic” you have created.

Every time I see the magic tree i almost break down in tears. It is so peaceful and reminds me of christmas as a child. As i fight back the tears of joy, I slowly realize that the simple things in life are all that matter. Many times I have contimplated counting all the lights… I LOVE THIS TREE… IT ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF
