My last question for the day...
Let's pretend that Bonsai Bobby, our lovable plant lover regular funny guy extraordinaire from the Religion and Spirituality forum, was to be selected to do a most honorable plant, a bonsai tree.
This plant would be placed in a place of significance and he would be given the honor of trimming it to be any shape of spiritual significance. It would be there as a symbol for many future generations to come.
Ahh young grasshopper, what design shall he choose and what is the spiritual symbolism of this design??

Knowing Bobby, probably two hands praying.
The guy is remarkable. :)

I am stunned by the genius of the artist on the second site under Bonzai Bobbie's answer. This man should be commissioned immediately as I believe he has the talent to capture,[ dare I say it?] the Essence of Bonzai Bobbie as he is known to us in his avatar! The look of sophistication, never ending devotion to his beliefs, which includes loving us here at R&S. The slight look of concern for his friends, the perfect do. Oh, yeah! That really cool way he holds his hand, so masculine, yet tender. [ I practice that hand thing all the time in front of a mirror. Well, I did until my mother caught me.] Bobbie is a friend to all and sees the best in the worst of us, a true gift of the Spirit.
I just realized I forgot the question! We love you B.Bobbie!
Edit: Pssst! Hey is he OK? Can I have dibs on his avatar?

A giant circle with a flag, and the letters R & S , in the center, and a line diagonally crossing the circle.
It would be a symbol standing against all unjust reporting on Y!A, the R & S section particularly, and would be placed outside Y!A headquarters.

I LOVE bonsai trees. My dad was working on one. He knew nothing about it, but he was playing around with this little tree it was so cute.
all I can see is Bonsai's avatar with Edward Scissorhands gloves on,chopping away at a huge cedar tree... HEY, I have one in my backyard Bonsai, common over!
I know bonsai trees take years to make, but what the hey.... you can chop away all you want at that one...it's only 60' high or so....
blessings :)

I would probably defer to one of the greatest Bonsai masters that has every lived..this guy is amazing..Masahiko Kimura.is considered to be a bonsai magician...He of course is Japanese and has brought a contemporary shift in the art,with his unique style,that oftens breaks from traditional Bonsai rules...check out these sites for just a tiny glimpse into the dark and mysterious world of bonsai sculpting.

The second site is just a few trees sculpted by Kimura, The first is bonsai created by a local artist near Sarasota,Florida.. Jim Smith(sadly,Jim left us a few years ago) Note..On the Jim Smith collection..just click on cataloge to end the annoying music,then scroll to the bottom of the page to select addtional pages...some very nice bonsai..especially for simple tropical material...

I think he should make a triquetra, which is three intersecting ellipses. It was often used in ancient art to depict a triune deity. I think it would be perfect for symbolizing the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
