The Natural And Simple Beauty Of Wabi-Sabi...

Wabi-Sabi is the marriage of
the Japanese Wabi meaning humble and Sabi which suggests beauty.
Wabi-Sabi invites us to set aside the pursuit of manufactured perfection and appreciate the simple, unaffected, uncluttered beauty of things as they are.
To create a true harmonious Wabi-Sabi environment we will strip away excesses and be happy with how something is in it's unadorned state at that moment.
Through the Wabi-Sabi philosophy we appreciate the modest, the handmade, the recycled, the cracks, the mistakes, the frayed edges, rust, the natural aging caused by the ravages of time and weather.
The marks that loving use has left behind.
The aging lines on our faces, that when left alone, add to and enhance our personalities, that without fads like botox and plastic surgery, tell our life stories. That add to our character and say unashamedly who and what we are.
To know about Wabi-Sabi is to learn more about less and there's more about less here.
Following Wabi-Sabi, we find that perfection is the result of imperfection...
