I am thankful today to Dimitri and Josie for sending their expression of gratitude in the form of a bonsai tree — simply one of the sweetest professional tokens of appreciation I've received. A bonsai tree, I learned, symbolizes harmony, order of thoughts, balance and all that is good. And so the perfect spot for this little tree is atop my work desk, where I strive to convey the very same through my creative projects.
