Default [IBC] good quote (non-bonsai, but related)

Today I emailed the president of the local arts society to see if they
would be interested in my doing an exhibit of viewing stones. She
responded that she would, and added this comment that I thought could go
into the hopper in the ongoing art debate on the list. This is in
reference to stones, but could easily apply to bonsai as well:

"They are art from the soul. Creation and seeing images in nature is
what I call a close encounter with God, and only a artist's eye knows
that."

What I hear Dani saying is that art is not just the crafting of an
object, but having the eye to see art in natural forms.
