Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. It's simple, slow, and uncluttered-and it reveres authenticity above all. Wabi-sabi is flea markets, not warehouse stores; aged wood, not Pergo; rice paper, not glass. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet-that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent.<br /><br />http://nobleharbor.com/tea/chado/WhatIsWabi-Sabi.htmKGT (aka Cagey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763973309807575484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940124.post-65978048431151987792012-03-01T00:37:15.832-05:002012-03-01T00:37:15.832-05:00For the love, Iʼd fallen on

The very source of it, low and appearing blue for only seconds on this occasion, Christmas Eve. And it pierces and penetrates. The first revelation is out there in all its glory where life feeds on life in endless and beautiful cycles. Facade, artifice, and the avarice of dogma are the mortar and bricks of hollow institutions stagnating before our very eyes. Inside-- churches, and mosques and temples.<br /><br />Filters <i>filter.</i> Filters separate. Filters extract the larger particles,perhaps the larger ideas, perhaps the larger souls. Purification requires a great deal more than filtration, I regret to remind. <br /><br />I trap myself only when I subject myself to the dogma of certainty, when I entertain false dichotomies that require a choice between a God and her creation, a fate akin to slitting ones wrist in order to quench one's thirst.<br /><br /><br />...and the only True Light is face to Face.<br /><br />paxKGT (aka Cagey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763973309807575484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940124.post-54079947587313110842011-02-21T23:30:29.379-05:002011-02-21T23:30:29.379-05:00what is out there is fallen.
