“What would happen if we looked at ourselves like the nun looked at that tree? What would happen if we treasured our imperfections in the same way that the priest treasured the tree’s gnarled branches? I think our lives would be better as a result. More than that, I think it’s incumbent on us to see the perfection of our imperfect souls.”
