Imperial Masterpiece
With regards to the recent topi on - Advanced Design
ever notice that some will suggest deep study and required effort.
Some will say, becareful, you might loose your soul.
[ been there done that ------------ if you have something say --------- it will be said ]
Solution is simple, go somewhere quiet, relax and think. YOU will resurface.
Then somehow Van Gogh, will get thrown in, very few actually study the man, his mental
problems, his insecurity, or that he spent at least a year and a half studying Fine Art
seriously.
The idea seems to be - Emotion - and everyone will respond to you as a genius.
EGO.
Poor guy must be turning in his grave.
So study little or nothing, and it will happen naturally.
Be brain lazy.
[ Wonder where those folk end up ? ]
There is much wisdom in something K taught me.
"The Intellect, the emotion and the craft."
_____________________________________
It is the mixed balance of using these three that produces art,
BUT what keeps Bonsai a HOBBY is the tree, and it's growing, change and more change.
That is the secret, it allows you to live, and to learn to adapt, and in adapting, live well.
When you die, then you cease to exist.
BUT who cares, if you have lived and lived well ?????????????????
My next rant is on who has the bestest most expensive tools, or best imported tree
or oldest pot. Even though Orientals are known to discard inferior in their eyes stuff,
SIGH, China allows nothing over 100 years to leave the country legally.
Everytime I re-read the Masakuni / Murata book onTools / care, I wonder
how much we in the West, through our ignorance, have been set up.
You know K was in a Modern study class in 5th Form, and everytime you raised your
hand to discuss anything, the 4b guys [ known as the left over dummies ] who were
from a year before, would raise such a fuss.
They didn't want to study or learn.
Most of them took jobs cleaning the side of the road or the equivalent.
Bonsai / Tree Penjing, the Hobby that teaches mightily!!
Good Day
