\u2665<\/strong>\u2665<\/strong>\u2665<\/strong> Wabi-Sabi<\/strong> is my new favorite concept.\u00a0 It refers to the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.Wabi<\/strong> is a Japanese word that connotes rustic simplicity and the understated elegance found in both natural and man-made objects.<\/p>\n

Sabi<\/strong> is the beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of something and its impermanence are evidenced in its patina and wear as well as in any visible repairs.<\/p>\n

What a wonderful concept that softens the sting of aging and the illusion most of us are under that demands that we always get it right. Not only does it soften it, it elevates imperfection to an art to be treasured.<\/p>\n

So, the next time things don\u2019t seem to go right, simply smile and say \u201cWabi-Sabi\u201d.\u00a0 It\u2019s a real time-saver too.<\/p>\n

Please give us examples of how you are celebrating the spirit of Wabi Sabi in your life.\u00a0 Add your comments below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
