"...it was raining one day and there I saw the pine tree "Oku no kyousho" and I was transfixed. There appeared to be such life force emanating from within the tree, it was almost as if there were a god inside it. There and then I decided to become a bonsai artist."

A great insight into the mind of a Bonsai Master Artist. I could probably think of a few, as no doubt could you, that would benifit from reading this.

It is the brown smelly stuff the comes out of the back end of a dog. It's the stuff you step in when walking and only realise after you get back in you car.

The interview said something about how even the lines on a dog turd lying on the pavement can be beautiful. Struck me as pretty damn funny.
