Craig,

Interesting. I feel the serenity I get from the
trees. I think someimes that folks feel if they buy
the tree, they might be able to take home the
serenity. Yet for me the serenity comes from working
with the trees then being with them, like good
friends.

People who have been into bonsai for awhile know that it's the process that
counts much more than the result. We don't discard our less successful
efforts just because they didn't meet our expectations. They all receive
our love regardless of their imperfections.

I hadn't thought about that, but I'll bet you're right on target. It's
funny, isn't it, that we try to capture the most elusive aspects of
life with money?

Right. I feel the same way, but another person who is simply looking at
the trees as an observer rather than a participant won't understand
that.
