Bonsai for you is explicitly social. For me it just isn't. It may be in the future, but not just yet.

Treebeard, why did you write the caviat?
I re-read this about a dozen times to make sure I was reading it correctly. This is exactly what I am talking about. Why do some feel the need to back up everything they say with "I may in the future but not right now."
Or, "I may be an artist in the future, but for now I just grow them in my backyard for myself."
Anyone feel that bonsai promotes self confidence over a period of time? I may start that thread next.

Do you feel that you will provide more soul at some later date?
Are you holding back your soul now, so that you can really make a charge later?
Do people really believe that the Renaissance artists put less soul in their work when they started out than when their work became famous. I do believe that talant can be taught, on certain things. Playing guitar is not one of them, Playing piano is sort of one of them, but writing music is not. I definatly think that good bonsai can be taught, sometimes the training can come at a great price.
