"If you look closely at a tree you'll notice its knots and dead branches, just like our bodies.
What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go wonderfully together."
Matthew Fox
I chose this quote because it is the exact reason why I love trees. They are the most magestic, lovely things to set your eyes on. I did an art project for my Book of Mormon class awhile back about the atonement. I twisted and bent copper wire into a gnarled tree. It represented that through the atonement we can become these magnificant beings. We always have trials and struggles in our lives, but it is those experiences that make us into something great. If you look closely at a tree, you will see cracks, knotches, cuts and bent branches. As soon as you take all those imperfections and put them together you see something grand. We like those trees have gone through many things, but if we have faith we will come out to be more beautiful than we were before.
