There is a lesson here. This tree is not the usual straight and tall specimen. If you have a forest of lodgepole pines, none of the individual pine trees are noteworthy. We only notice the unusual tree that has been formed by years of hardship and has grown to match the full force of its environment. We are the same. We admire those who are different in good ways and have overcome the vicissitudes of life. The conforming lodgepole probably would not even recognize this image as a tree at all.
