About Wabi-sabi
Such a beautiful concept: Wabi-sabi
In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature. It is prevalent throughout all forms of Japanese art.
Oh, and one more concept from Japan: Ikigai.
One of my favourite Japanese words another is 生き甲斐 (ikigai) known as the reason of being. It’s your life’s purpose, it’s what inspires you and makes you want to get out of bed everyday.
Dream of the Return – Pat Metheny Group
In addition to all the scary things going on in the world, there are a lot of amazing and beautiful things going on in each of our lives, if only we stop to appreciate them. In honor of those many awesome things I offer this "hymn" to celebrate the end of this day, "Dream of the Return," by the Pat Metheny Group.
Yellowstone Wildlife
Over the past week I had a chance to get away from the Internet and to see some stunning sights.
Animal sightings included being 80 yards from a grizzly bear eating a bison in a river. Lots of bison and elk. We also spotted a fox and a coyote. Perfect weather and lots of hiking in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I only had my little point and shoot camera--no telephoto lens, but as the saying goes, you shoot with the camera you have.
