A carpenter uses the word

“justify” to

mean a process

by which something

crooked is made straight. Whenever

I feel the need

to justify,

I know it’s time

to pause and take a deeper look.

How am I, too,

trying to make

the crooked straight?

I was first introduced to this idea in An Anatomy of Peace by the Arbinger Institute, a book well worth reading.
