🌿 100 Days Ago — My Bonsai Journey

100 days ago, my Asahiyama Sakura and Serissa looked a little different from today. 🌸🌿

Looking back at these trees reminds me how slowly, quietly, and beautifully bonsai changes. At first, the differences may seem very small, but when I compare the past with the present, I can see how much has happened over time.

The leaves may have changed, new buds may have appeared, and the branches may have slowly developed their shape. Even the moss, the soil, the light, and the tiny creatures living around the trees become part of the bonsai’s story.

Bonsai teaches me that growth does not always happen quickly or dramatically. Sometimes, the most important changes are almost invisible from one day to the next. That is why continuing to observe, care for, and appreciate the trees is so meaningful.

Zen phrase: 春来草自生 — Haru Kitarite Kusa Onozukara Shōzu

“When spring comes, the grass grows naturally.”

This phrase reminds us that nature has its own timing. We do not need to force everything to grow faster. With patience, care, and the right conditions, each tree will develop in its own way.

Looking back after 100 days makes me appreciate the quiet passage of time and the small moments that are easy to overlook. My job is simply to keep observing, caring, and learning from nature.
