Hey creativetruth! Thanks for another very interesting post. I've never read about bonsai before.
Great pics... made the wall of text much easier to get through!
And this part was especially close to something I might say: "sometimes I follow techniques from others to sharpen my abilities, and sometimes I go my own way. Mistakes will be made along the way, and that's how I prefer to learn." I love learning by doing and doing by learning. I rarely want to know how the "experts" do something, if I can dig into it myself the way I need to.

Thank you. When I teach others things I am good at, people ask me how I got so good at it. I tell them, "You will never really learn how to to do it right until after you have learned how to make all of the mistakes first." I don't believe in natural born talent in most cases. Everything must be learned from somewhere. ;)
Some famous gardener long ago said something like "all a person really needs is an awesome garden and a fully stocked library". Nowadays I would say the library is essentially the internet, and things like Steemit. Too few people have gardens.
