As part of Shiten’s outreach teaching programme, Leader Les selflessly
(or so he says) brought his wisdom, and the Shiten
Way, to an unexpected audience!
While he was on a family trip oop norf, Shiten's Chairman deigned* to
visit the Wirral Bonsai Society's workshop at the Gordale Garden Centre where
he was able to preach his Shiten teaching to unconverted or uninitiated in the
ways of Les-o-Storey. Unlike the
radicalized clerics in the news, Sensai Storey preaches our love and passion for
the trees, not trouble. Egoless (a bit
like Legolas but not quite as pretty) and cast free from his political chains
he helped restore the “Inner Bonsai Karma” that many hobbyists lack these days. Shiten from the Gob-shite, powerful voodoo
indeed!
For those of you who thought that Beatle-mania
was a thing of the past the Screaming
Sixties were once again with us as one of Shiten's groupies from Shropshire
was delighted to meet her Scouse God
texting “I’ve met Shiten’s Les Storey!”
Once this poor lady’s pulse had steadied our Shiten Sensai gave her his
opinion and design thoughts on a Scouse Olive that she had brought along to get
advice/work on. Once the headiness of meeting her idol had worn off (about 25
seconds so I heard) it was hard at work and below is a few shots her hard at
it!
*For those of you, like me, who had no idea what this word meant:-
deign/deɪn/
|
verb do something that one considers to be beneath
one's dignity.
