What is Wabi-Sabi
Wabi Sabi refers to the beauty of the impermanent, the imperfect, the rustic, and the melancholy.
It derives from a respect for what is passing, fragile, slightly broken and modest.
It believes that things are always more beautiful forbearing the marks of age, and individuality.
It suggests that wisdom comes from making peace with transitory, imperfect, and unheroic natures.
The place we really have to come to terms with imperfection, melancholy and age is within ourselves.
Wabi-Sabi urges us to take a second look at what we might otherwise dismiss or treat with disdain. It recognizes that our tastes are not fixed, and that if someone with talent and artistic grace urges us to look more sympathetically at some moss, a slightly wonky teacup, or indeed, the wise wrinkled face of a friend. Thru this we may be able to find charm and beauty here too. With the ideals of Wabi-Sabi in mind, we may learn to find greater satisfaction in the humbler moments; in a walk down a slightly crooked path, or on an overcast autumn day, or a less than blemish free house, face, or soul.
