"I thought the Joshua tree was ugly. It looked scraggly and freakish, permanently stuck in is twisted, torched position, and it made me think of how some adults tell you not to make weird faces because your features could freeze. Mom, however, thought it was one of the most beautiful trees she had ever see She told us she had to paint it."
I love how her mom can see the beauty in things that most people can't. I feel like sometimes I do the same thing. I end up thinking in ways other people don't. Sometimes in a simple way when its really a pun and sometimes really deep when it was just a simple line. Also, I think that in the midst of dead and dry desert, the fact that she finds beauty is such a great thing.
