We examine the significance of the symbol of a twisted tree described in the Taoist text known as the Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu) and a related set of stories about deformed sages. This is a discussion about recognizing the beauty and intrinsic value of things and people who might seem unimportant at first glance. It\u2019s also a conversation about why we shouldn\u2019t trust in the wisdom of people, institutions, and political ideologies who despise those with disabilities.
