Just how happy can you get! This fellow is all that remains of an old river tree. He stands beside a boat dock, on the banks of the gently flowing Fox River, waving to all who pass. He wears a jaunty beaver-protection net hat. I call him Joe – “Good ol’ Joe!”

Don’t Worry – Be Happy

New life is springing out of Joe’s weathered body. A tiny tree is growing out of the top of his left eye, indicating his optimism no matter what his current circumstances look like.

An owl – the ability to see in the dark – rests at Joe’s feet and is looking up, a bit worried about the situation and in astonishment at the tree spirit’s optimistic energy. A tiny tree – new life – is growing out of the owl’s head.

This tree spirit is a perennial favorite with our audience.
