 Wabi Sabi: the ancient Japanese artform of finding beauty in flaws.  Wabi Sabi "honors all things old, weathered, imperfect and impermanent by finding the beauty and perfection in the imperfections." In the Wabi Sabi aesthetic, a Ming Vase with a crack down the center might be put on display --with a spotlight shining right on the crack. Through the insights of Wabi Sabi, we learn how to experience disappointment, even heartbreak, in an entirely new way. By holding brokenness and beauty together, Wabi Sabi teaches us a wiser way to love.
