When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you
see all these different trees. And some
of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are
evergreens, and some of them are whatever.
And you look at the tree and you allow it. You appreciate it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get
enough light, and so it turned that way.
And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get
near humans, you lose all that. And you
are constantly saying “You’re too this, or I’m too this.” That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into
trees. Which means appreciating them
just the way they are.
