wabi Sabi

Wabi-sabi is the view or thought of finding beauty in every aspect of imperfection in nature. It is about the aesthetic of things in existence, that are “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. Wabi-sabi is also deeply influenced by the teaching of the Buddha and its school of thought can be interlinked with Buddhist thinking. It is essentially a concept or ideology that comes from the ‘Buddhist teaching’ of the three marks of existence that are namely “impermanence” (mujō), suffering (ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (kū)”.

Wabi expresses simplicity, flaw, imperfection and impermanence. I like the shape of bowl and the different stones of different size. It’s the inconsistency that makes the display authentic.

Similarly,

The red amaranth is a beautiful plant. There is a single seed hidden among one of my purchase and I realised it’s uniqueness.

You can experience the beauty of this plant when it grows up, the flower and seeds.

Take a moment to notice the little things, the seed that has sprouted, spider mites and pests.
