Beautiful share David.

If I were a tree, I'd love to be the Molave tree. Strong, sturdy, upright as what our National hero, Manuel Luis Quezon, said in his poem, and I quote some lines," I want our people to grow and be like the molave, strong and resilient, unafraid of the raging flood, the lightning or the storm, confident of its own strength."

As a Filipino, I am full of hope, full of life, strong and never easily gave up to any adversities that ever came up in my life. I always faced and accepted challenges and thankful God has bestowed me the resiliency and faith to do so

David, I think the insights on judgement in the Ram Dass quote are profound.

We naturally and easily accept trees for what they are, and why they are what they are. But we often don't do the same when it comes to people. Why not?

Powerful lesson in there for me. That one will stick with me.

Thank you!

It hit me in a similar way. We don't demand of trees, why do we of people. Glad it provided a thought spark Tom.
