I started out as a horticulture student pursuing horticulture as a creative outlet masked as a career. As I neared the end of the curriculum at college I hit a stone wall. (That stone wall being my hard head once my mind is set.)

I guess I'm not much different than too any people but I definitely need the pay off, some thing that inspires me or caters to my sometimes fickle nature. (Again that being that I like being crative but I do not like bending my artistic vision to fit into a mold that makes money but constricts creative flow.)

So there I was all stopped up, unable to work as a landscape designer because of my unwilliness to cater only to a customers needs that do not meet my own needs and unwilling to give up I floundered in school a little while.

I still have about four classes to go until I have a degree but since the classes I have left have no forseeable bearing towards my satisfaction than getting that degree is most unlikely at this point.

So in the midst of floundering I discovered bonsai. Wow! It has so much about it that really does fill my imagination with wonderment and intregue. Although I had learned most of the horticultural practises in school I've discovered for myself that when those pactises are used in bonsai they take on a whole other level of thoughfullness that helps bring balance to an otherwise hectic life.

I would like to pursue bonsai as a career but given my fickle nature and the unavailiblity of bonsai schools close enough to me I will chose to be content with growing and learning and experiencing and developing this as much as I can until I may one day be fortunate enough to pass on to someone oneday this quiet time I know as bonsai -Dkozi
