Today of all day's I received a new art kit from Etsy. I have embraced the beauty of wabi-sabi - the embracement of imperfection. Today with the kit I purchased (Kintsugi) I also embrace this . . . let me share this quote "Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art. Every break is unique and instead of repairing an item like new, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the "scars" as a part of the design. Using this as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes in the process of repairing things that have broken, we actually create something more unique, beautiful and resilient." and believing that nothing in this world is random . . . to me on this day receiving this kit . . . well I'll let you ponder the significance. . .
TODAY despite the last several weeks and the last four years . . . democracy has prevailed and survived an insurrection of unbelievable magnitude. The Universe gives each of us a nudge . . . a confirmation that gives us that ah ha moment.
TODAY was an ah ha moment and somehow I do not think I was the only that received that message. Perhaps it came to you differently. Perhaps you were prepared for today. . . . or maybe not. But the universe nudge me in a very profound way.
Years ago I embraced the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi - quote ""Originally, the Japanese words wabi and sabi had quite different meanings. Sabi originally meant 'chill', 'lean' or 'withered'. ... "Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional. ..."
I have painted a few things that for me represented the concept. And then I discovered Kintsugi quote: "Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art. Every break is unique and instead of repairing an item like new, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the "scars" as a part of the design. Using this as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes in the process of repairing things that have broken, we actually create something more unique, beautiful and resilient."
