WABI SABI


I am learning about Wabi Sabi with those wonderful books.

By embracing my life in its entirety-joys, triumphs, flaws,bungles, and disasters included-I came to see that trying to improve life and trying to perfect life, while they may seem one of the same, actually have opposite results. The wish to improve life is a real and attainable, but the desire for a perfcet life- the perfect home- the perfect health, the perfect job, the perfect love, whatever it is-is the desire for something nonexistent.

I realized that Old Japanese customs and traditions are the center for a well balanced life, more than the actual Utopia we are all looking for in this overconsumption world.

I recommend those books to open your mind to see beauty in imperfection of life.
