Every moment of Life is Art

Wabi-sabi (n.) is a concept, an aesthetic, and a worldview that focuses on finding beauty within the imperfections of Life and accepting peacefully the cycle of growth and decay. In Zen there are seven aesthetic principles for achieving Wabi-sabi: Fukinsei (asymmetry, irregularity); Kanso (simplicity); Koko (basic, weathered); Shizen (without pretense, natural); Yugen (subtly profound grace, not obvious); Datsuzoku (unbounded by convention, free); Seijaku (tranquility). The state of Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.

Life is like a roller coaster. It’s never going to be perfect—it is going to have perfect moments, and then rough spots, but it’s all worth it.

The Buddha taught us something very important. We cannot wake a sleeper who is unready to awake nor can we prevent the awakening of one who is ready.  Such things are not within our power or purview. We can guide others. We can nudge and nurture. We can shield the flickering blue flames of the tinder as it catches flame and we can feed the blaze as it grows but a sudden cloudburst or rising wind will dash our efforts to naught sometimes.

We try again. What else can we do?

We throw out seeds, and then we hope that the mind in which they land becomes sufficiently fertile enough that they will grow, however slowly, until one day they bloom.
