WASI-SABI

 

(不均斉) - fukinsei included.

Languages and cultures

that see Beauty as truth

wherever, whatever it is:

simple, organic, austere yet disparate:

 - imperfect by western aesthetic standards with its

 unreal ideals of perfection and concepts of control.

 

Let it go, let it be,

with all the bumps, cracks and brokenness:

the warps, weak spots, dents and holes.

The fallible, finite Whole.

 

Asymmetry, irregularity, impermanence and decay

are pure Zen indeed:

the patina of withering -

Kintsugi of the soul.
