A good mentor friend said to me,
" I want you to be as nonjudgmental as you can possibly be,
when you see this crooked fir tree,
Because when the tree comes into view
remember you don't know what it has been through.
Even though the crooked tree is on the end of a row
and all the other fir trees stand straight as an arrow,
You still don't know that as each day is dawning
the end fir tree is in the shade of a nearby awning,
So the fir tree leans to the west and is bent to the right
to reach toward the early morning east sunlight.
When you see the crooked tree think that it has done the best that it can,
With the circumstances it has at hand,
and be as nonjudgmental as you can be,
seeing a tree working twice as hard to reach what for others comes so easily".
