Puddles, Thank you for sharing this quote. I really needed it today.

Hi bigsister! I think many of us can use this quote, but if it helped one person then I've done my job.

If you are walking down the street and see crazy coming, cross the street to the other side.

catwhisperer, I love this and thanks for explaining the meaning to us. I didn't get the real meaning when I first read it.

Great thread, Hooty! I was in an interesting discussion today and someone shared this. It's on the serious side, so I hope that's okay. If not, we can zap it!

"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.”
The judging mind comes in.
And so I practice turning people into trees.
Which means appreciating them just the way they are."
