Something to ponder...

The other day i was reading the latest issue of "Mother Earth News'

and came across this article. It's called "Wabi-Sabi".

It's a Japanse philosophy of appreciating things that

are imperfect, primitive and incomplete.

Intimately tied to Zen Buddhism and the Japanese way

of tea, wabi-sabi is a subtly spiritual philosophy that

sees home as a sanctuary- a simple place devoid of clutter, disturbance

and distraction.

Honoring modest living and the ever changing moment,

wabi-sabi finds beauty in imperfection and

profundity of nature, accepting the cycle of growth, decay

and death. It's slow and uncluttered, and regards

authenticity above all.

Cultivate craft- making and growing things yourself

is a gentle rebellion against globalized mass production.
