Wabi Sabi

Wabi Sabi is the imperfection
within perfection....
like all transient appearances
there is nothing perfect about it
yet each carries a unique beauty
that if the eye is clear and able to see
will shine --

Wabi Sabi is not a sterile way of being
but a fluid dance that rests within the
heart of the mystery of creation
sometimes elegant, sometimes rough
always grounded in nature
always uniquely simple in its form and
presence --
fresh like a new spring day
or textured and worn
like the eyes of an old
wise soul

Wabi Sabi is balance and harmony
that honors transient beauty
without clinging to it
as well as the wisdom of age
within beauty --
quirky and individual
off-centered
standing out from the rest ...

Wabi Sabi is speaks to
enjoying life in the *raw*
with its
flaws, cracks and quirks
and allowing the beauty of the form
to stand as it is
without adding or taking away
very zen
