Walter pulled a poetry teacher and walked out on this thread.
My 2 cents- i studied tai chi "traditionally" (communicated almost like a parent/mentor relatiinship) under one teacher for a decade. The first 2 yr of it was spent learning how to move one hand up and down. I didnt really care because the teacher had something to offer me that i wanted- and wanted to learn how to get. I accepted that the teacher knows things i do not.
One day i noticed something while practicing. I told my teacher how much ive grown to really enjoy my presence when i practice. She said finally you learn the lesson.
I believe:
The way we do anything is the way we do everything.
I bonsai with sticks in pots. Laughed at with my version of yamadori- but at the end of the day whether it is water, trim, wire, study the specie, daydream design, or just observing the plant- all of it is only because i enjoy it.
I hope you also can enjoy what i am leaving for you
