Wabi Sabi. What a funny name for a beautiful concept.
Wabi sabi is a Japanese concept for a special sort of beauty. Here is the definition which I am borrowing from Everyday Sacred, and which the author borrowed from some other book.
"Wabi sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional."
Is that not perfect? I want to take that definition, wrap it up, devour it, chisel it into my mind and frame it.
I am thinking of the imperfect, things in my life and how I have been missing their beauty these last few days - oh, let's be honest, more like months. In some cases I have never seen their beauty at all.
Thank you wabi sabi.
