One step closer to a gargantuan task. I have a book cover before the book is ready. I’m a visual artist at heart therefore having a book cover for my upcoming book makes it closer to reality for me. I now have a much deeper appreciation for anyone who have written or in the process of writingContinue reading “Wisdom Tree for the Digital Eden”

5 Reasons BONSAI will benefit your HEALTH
Time Illusion
I’m compelled to write about the subject of TIME because of a couple of incidents that happened this week. It’s 4:46 AM in the morning and I’ve been awake since 2:50 this morning. My original plan is to continue writing my book and hopefully finish my manuscript ready for editing. I sit here typing awayContinue reading “Time Illusion”
Bonsai Assisted Mindfulness
For a few months now I’ve been tossing around the idea of combining bonsai with meditation. My idea was to heighten the meditative experience by having a bonsai present in the room. Some practitioners use flowers to help the environment of meditation. I even came up with a cool acronym, BAM – Bonsai Assisted Meditation.Continue reading “Bonsai Assisted Mindfulness”
Bonsai Misunderstood
It’s the day after thanksgiving in America. Also famously known as “Black Friday” here.

Urban Yamadori First Styling
First styling on this urban Yamadori Tam Juniper. Lots of long branches that are kept for now until new branches grow closer to the trunk. If all goes well, I would like to move this tree in a smaller pot spring 2018.

Recent work on Junipers
Just want to share before and now photos of two juniper bonsais I worked on recently. These are Tam Juniper bonsais from a landscape project in 2015. I look at these bonsais and again reflect on some of the life lessons they teach me. If I did not save these (seemingly pieces of junk materials)Continue reading “Recent work on Junipers”
Bonsai in our Digital World
My family and I visited Bainbridge Island this summer. A small island town where you can take a half hour ferry ride to get there or go around through mainland and an hour to get there. It’s nice little town with shops and restaurants to eat. This is where the world famous Boedel Garden is located. Continue reading “Bonsai in our Digital World”
Bonsai Rock Lake Tahoe
As promised from my last post I’m posting photos of “bonsai rock”. I was going to add them to the last post but there were too many to add. Thanks to our friend Liza for letting me know about this place. I would have never found it if not for her mentioning it. There areContinue reading “Bonsai Rock Lake Tahoe”
