Breezy was here? Cool, I didn't see him at all honest. He drank nothing, ate nothing and evaded security (and every question) like a pro gatecrasher at a wedd...oh wait....

Thank y'all. I can't stop smiling. I just read the whole thread twice again. You're a wonderful group of great apes and I wish I could give you all a big hug... and even Breezy joined the party for a moment, haha!

I keep meaning to ask: is that one of your bonsais, Arakish? It's lovely.

arakish's picture
Actually, it is the only

Actually, it is the only bonsai I have. I based it on a picture that is floating around the internet some many years ago. It is what keeps me sane because it takes a lot of love, care, and patience. If I did not have an outlet for that, it would drive me completely wonko to not have something in which to have love for, have caring for, and have patience for.

I use to grow them and give them away when my wife and daughters were alive. I think I gave away a dozen during the later years of those 18 years. With my wife and daughters, I had them primarily, but also had so much more to give that I started bonsais.

I am working on a second one now that I planted this past March as a seed. It is coming up nicely. Have not decided whether to make it a regular bonsai, or a macro-bonsai. FYI: A regular bonsai (IMO) is one that is less than 50cm tall. A macro-bonsai is still less than 150cm tall. I don't really know the official definitions, but those are mine. And that's all that matters.

And actually, my Arakish character is Pentanoth Hronth, which loosely translates to English as ever-living tree. Basically, it is like an Ent, but also like Groot, but also quite different. On my world of Onaviu, they are also called, Woodsland Protectorates, Woodsland Haunters, some even call them Demon Trees. No, they are not evil. They are indifferent, unless you start harming their woods. Not only are they like Tolkien's Ents and Huorns, they can also create vines and ivy in which to entangle and crush their enemies. They can also grow or shrink in size quite rapidly. For the most part they average about 2.5 to 4 meters in height. However, they can grow to colossal heights of 200 meters, and some of the older ones can grow up to 400 meters in height. Additionally, if so desired, they can shrink down to a mere 5 to 6 cm, resembling a tuft of grass. However, they can rapidly create vines and ivy entangling their foe in just a few seconds. Then they would grow to tree size, leaving the enemy to dangle until dies from dehydration and starvation. Yes, they can seem quite cruel. BUT only if you harm their woods.

Sorry, I'm ranting again...

Re: " No, they are not evil."

It didn't occur to me to think they were evil. Protecting home and hearth isn't evil- it's necessary. For some reason, they reminded me of the Pandanus species that grow in North Queensland. They have prop roots and I used to tell my son they walked around when no one was looking when he was a little boy. We used to try and catch them doing it sometimes.. :-)

Is your book about Onaviu, Arakish?

@Sushisnake: "Is your book about Onaviu, Arakish?"

Yeah. Onaviu is the name the peoples who live there give to the world they live on. Onaviu has two meanings which are basically the same.

Onaviu: 1) "all that which lives," 2) "all that which exists."

Is there a real place on Earth called that? Never have done a search. Off to do so now...

@Sushisnake: Had a brain fart...

Couldn't find anything about "onaviu" on a Bing search (I no longer use Google since it almost NEVER finds what I want). Closest I came was something called Onvia.

However, here is an image I found on the WWW many years ago. I titled it Dalino Guardians.

I felt it depicted the forest on Simerjia called Treslar Dalino (V: Forest of the Dalino).

If you look closely enough and long enough, you see several of the little guardians throughout the woods. Thus, the saying, "Always mind what you do when walking the woodlands, for you are always being watched."

Lawn bowls you southern...um...gentleman you. Lawn bowls, nothing as gaudy or as "american' as 10 pin. And afterwards a gentle game of croquet. (which actually is a game of deceit, viciousness and revenge). Then to the pub for a few middies of the golden nectar and a feed. I didn't get much of the canapes and Q had eaten all the vegemite and sourdough ones the bastard. Are Apost and Flamenca still bonking in the back room? I'll turn out the lights on me way through! "gangway!!!" *pedals like crazy*

@ Flamenca & Apost
Sorry Im late.
Best wishes for you both on your new lives together.
May you enjoy as much love and comfort and fun as my wife and I did in our long debate - I mean marriage - we had a ball & I hope you will too.
Just one piece of pious self considered wisdom, never put the marriage( or debate) ahead of the relationship. All the very best.
